It works best on fairly stable video.  If you have a lot of background switching
then you run into speed problems.  Other than that I can't say much as we
only played with a demo and have not had the opportunity to do much more.

I have been following this for the last two years and I have not heard anything
about a price yet.  I do know that they want to get the price such that you
could just put a box on your TV or CD player and use it, the consumers are
the market that they would like to get this into, as far as I can tell. 
You would have to have the unit priced about $1,000 I would think.
