found this on : http://www.u2wanderer.org/disco/vid010.html

The bonus video track is rumoured to be Mysterious Ways which is not included in the main tracklisting. It will likely be an easter egg that fans will have to find.

The Unforgettable Fire Documentary is the documentary portion of the videocassette The Unforgettable Fire Collection which has never been released on DVD to this point.

Two editions are currently being planned for release in the USA, a limited edition digipack case (UPC: 6 02498 11969 3) and a regular DVD jewel case edition (UPC: 6 02498 13514 3). The limited release digipack will be more expensive than the regular jewel case edition. Suggested prices in the USA are $26.98 and $19.98 respectively. It is unknown at this time if the digipack will include any extras to justify the higher price point, or if this limited release will be available in other markets (but it most likely will if plans for a limited release go ahead for the USA).
Other contents on the DVD will be a DVD Rom section, including a

U2 calendar, screen savers, and weblinks.
Three songs will be included as filmed in "Spincam", allowing the viewer a 360o view of the concert experience.
Sound on the recording will be in PCM stereo, DTS, and Dolby Digital 5.1

The aspect ratio of the video is 16:9
Front cover is as pictured above. According to preliminary promotional information, the back cover may feature a background with images of fans at the show, overlayed with additional photos taken at the Slane concert, a tracklisting, notes about the show similar to what was released in the press release earlier this year.

The DVD will be released November 17, 2003 in Europe, Australia and the rest of the world. North America as usual will have to wait an additional day until November 18, 2003.
Thanks to Didi at u2tour.de for the artwork from the front cover.
All information is preliminary at this point and subject to change still. We will report any changes as the information becomes available.
