Im afraid that is impossible to keep the quality of a DivX AVI file as you convert to SVCD format. The reason is that SVCDs are restircted to a certain specification that must be followed whereas AVI files can use damn near whatever they want. Also, MPEG2 is nowhere near the quality codec that DivX is.

SVCD: 480x480@29.97 or 480x576@25
AVI (variable): 720x480@29.97 for example.

As you can see simply from the math, AVI files will always have more quality than their SVCD counterparts (also, you can get an entire movie onto a CD as opposed to multple discs for SVCD).
