How can the decoder look better? It either decodes the content as defined, or it doesn't. Perhaps encoding looks better with the same input, the same target filesize but considering how great x264 looks, it would probably have to put to a formal test by some doom9 folks.
I can well understand that DivX doesn't support every format that MKV offers. After all MKV basically allows you to stuff any content into itself and its at a players discretion what it decodes. I would hope at least that their "profile" specifies subtitles, chapters and a few bits and pieces in addition to audio.
More interesting is DivX *hasn't* said, concerning the way encrypted movies will be delivered and encrypted. This is where the real money lies. The certification is a trojan horse to get the devices into homes, and then be able to sell them content afterwards. Didn't exactly work with older versions but the brand is stronger now.
