Is there any way you could modify the program to use the same dithering process used by HAM32k? that would look amazing for movies.

Not going to work, because that method needs twice the amount of data per frame.

As I understand, it utilizes a standard interlaced HAM screen. What are the implications of needing more data per frame?
It does use interlace. It duplicates each line of pixels in the image, and the duplicate line is slightly altered to cause the dithering effect.

While not literally impossible, it doubles the bandwidth needed to play the video. This will result in either the low end Amigas not being able to play the video properly, or the user having to make very low frame rate videos.

It's a pity, because that HAM32K program works quite well.
