After watching this all the way through, I couldn't help but thinking that they somehow messed up the aspect ratio so that the picture is slightly stretched horizontally.  I know the boys are short, but they aren't that short.  I'm working on fixing the proportions and then making a standard 4:3 DVD.

I think this looks better...

than this..

The audio is Dolby 5.1, though the original source is probably just stereo.

Just to let those who want to know that the audio on this D.V.D is in mono and not even mastered in 5.1 properly ,infact its slightly distorted in places .Not had a chance to compare with my bootleg version yet but first impression is its the same.hope that helps.

Wow!  Just a few days ago, most of the DVD vendors had it (I bought mine from DVDPacific.com) but, yeah, it's vanished off the face of the earth.  I know my local Best Buy received a few copies, so you may want to check that source.  I also see some on the secondary market here:

Thanks a lot for the info!

But unfortunately they only ship to US. I'm looking for a place that ships to Brazil, my country.

According to The Ideal Copy, U2's lawyers have put the kaibash on this release.  It's been recalled and will no longer be produced.

This whole deal reminds me of the scene in Chinatown when Jack Nicholson is slapping Faye Dunaway--
Who is she?

Slap...my sister
Slap...my daughter
Slap...my sister
Slap...my daughter

What is it?

Slap...bootleg
Slap...official
Slap...bootleg
Slap...official...
Injunction slap...bootleg

LOL

This show is now playing free on Comcast On Demand. It's the correct 4/3 aspect ratio. Thanks to P-Diddy for the tip.

Curious indeed. But still awesome. :)
