Do correct me if I am wrong Karl.

Yes, let me correct you
KVCD is a modification to MPEG. That's pretty clear, because we produced the "Notch" matrix.
But it's still MPEG-1 or MPEG-2, depending on what you encode.
Now, if you burn ANY non-standard MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 to a VCD, that's what's called XVCD.
If you burn to a DVD(+-)R media, it would be called a XDVD, again, because it's not standard.
However, KDVD (as our brand/trademark, whatever you want to call it), it's 100% DVD compliant, so in this particular case, it's not a XDVD, because the MPEG standard left provisions for modifications in the matrix, and that's what we call KDVD. So therefore, KDVD is not an XDVD, because it complies with the DVD standard, and will play on any standalone DVD player.
Now, if you stream a KVCD or KDVD over a network, there's no such a thing as XDVD, because the material has not been burned to any media.
In this case, KVCD is a "branded" MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 stream.
And trust me, it's already being used comercially, specially for low bitratre surveillance applications
