@ kwag: Do you think they will improve even more or is it time to contribute them to all the vcd-freaks out there?

Of course it's time

. And as for the DivX thing, I already have done serious tests and this is what I've seen:
For very low bitrates:
DivX beats KVCDs on low motion parts. That is, on still walls and dark areas. It looks very clean compared to a KVCD encode.
For fast motion KVCD beats the crap out of DivX

. You can see it clearly on fast pannings and fast moving objects. KVCD looks WAY cleaner than a DivX.
Please note that this is on bitrates ~2Mbps
On high bit rates, above 4Mpbs, I really can't tell the difference between the two. They are both about the same.
These comparisons were done targeting the same file size with both encodes.
Now with the new FaeryDust filter, this makes a huge difference on still areas for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 encodes. So we have to compare again
