Two questions about DVI technology:

  1)  When authoring an application, what happens at the final step?
      Let's say you have the application working on you 600 Meg
      hard drive.  Is it a simple matter to transfer it into a format
      that is acceptable for pre-mastering, or does this take some
      special program?  If so, how much does such a program cost?

  2)  Does anyone know how the new DVI chips announced recently will
      affect the price of boards, and when?  After all, if the board set
      that costs $4650 today will be available for $2000 in a month, I'd
      just assume wait.  Also, will the new boards be better in any way?
