AppleCare will ALSO cover any problems you encounter with software that comes installed on your machine - OS X, iDVD, iTunes, iMovie, etc. If you plan on doing things with this apps that are critical to you, then it might be worth it for that alone. I had problems with iDVD and got many hours of phone support through AppleCare until the problem was solved.
I emailed the author... he said that getting the settings and parameters right was an "art-form in of itself." There are also significant optimization issues with this algorithm. It really would need to be reworked from scratch... but serves, I suppose as a point of departure.
