10 layers of HD is impossible - just from a bandwidth point of view.
The computer subsystems get saturated way before this.
even at 720p this is totally impossible.

even pushing pixels around:
1280x780x30fpsx10 layers is 276,000,000 pixels/second...

in a dual 2ghz processor you get say at most 2,000,000,000 instruction/second.

thats less than 10 instructions per pixel. impossible to do any compositing.

There is not sufficient memory bandwidth, agp bandwidth or computer hp to do this...
Someone is telling lies, or pulling sleight of hand tricks.
