ballpark figures?

I remeber hearing that we could expect to get less than 20 minutes of realtime
video, when they get the new CD-I, CD-X, CD-A discs functional.  CD-I is
supposedly well into the development stage, but that has been said for 14
months now.  CD-X is in use industrially (anyone out there using this beast
yet?)

I have figures here from a research project this summer - but I can't FIND them
yet!!!  When I clear my desk, I will post a more definitive answer.
