It's no different: If the quality of your DivX or MPEG is *very* good, you can convert it back to DVD.
Assuming DVD is about 4 Mbps, you need to make your DivX at 2.5 to 3 Mbps, and your MPEG-1 at about 4Mbps, if you want to be able to convert back to DVD (MPEG-2) at 4Mbps with absolutely no loss of quality compared to the original. Naturally it depends on the encoders that you use.
