DVD, and BD, authoring costs include: professionally encoding the video sources (in this case from HD sources), DVD authoring time; menu design time; materials. There will also be some music encoding costs you asked about, but I'm not as certain at this time, how much or how little this will impact. This is the first of its kind.
Based on what we see in this video clip, this thing will be loaded with content. The flowchart must be ridiculous. So the whole design and approval process is going to be magnified and multiplied for each disc.
I suspect that this is being done as a "showboat" piece meant to "WOW" us with what the technology is capable of. Only a guess, but someone or some company may be putting up a lot of resources and time in order to show what can be done.
