I was figuring on dual-layer. As I understand it, you can get about an hour of high quality video and PCM sound on one layer. So if we round it off to two hours and allow a little extra video quality for the fact that it's 16:9.. then we've got 2 hours of high quality video and PCM (the back cover says PCM and DTS as usual btw). Now subtract some video quality for the DTS and we've still got potentially good video quality but extras would continue to diminish video quality.
But look at Wembley. What the hell happened there? It's roughly 112 minutes long, not really any extras on disc 1. And it's dual-layer. Yet the video bitrate is average 2.5 out of 10. SVCD quality. Granted, they do a good job compressing because it doesn't seem to suffer too much (to me anyway), but that's awfully low.
This is a brand new show so they have no excuses for poor quality this time. It has to be great or else... I dunno
As for these newest details, I'm very disappointed. DoRo can be seen right here interviewing Michelle:

So where is the tour documentary or at least featurette? Where is the tribute to Michelle? :(
This could have been great. An example of what Queen Productions is capable of in the modern age, something to be proud of.. but instead it looks like it's going to be bare-bones.
Oh well, perhaps they're saving the extras for the "special edition" which will probably be announced in place of something new, perhaps next year.

Perhaps the special edition will be released on Blu-Ray, since Brian DID say the concert was filmed in high-definition. I would look forward to that, since they could use 192/24 encoded DTS-HD for the soundtrack itself.
Hopefully they would use the special features then.

In fact I was saying that I didn't understand why they paid the guys of DORO Production (The Torpedo Twins) for filming behind scene footage, backstage, on the road etc... and that there is no bonus on this DVD. There MUST be another special edition of maybe a documentary thing of this tour which will be issued as a stand alone DVD.
That's what I was trying to say, did you understand ? sorry, I'm still learning :P

Yes I understood. That was very good, actually!

And now a Queenzone exclusive look at the DVD label and part of the back cover of the US version of the ROTC DVD:

So it is for sure a single disc DVD, and it seems they'll be using a DVD case that's almost see-through.
ED: That, and I noticed the back cover has a different image from what was posted above!

Edit: Oh yeah, that's the same as the CD back cover on the Hollywood version.
DVD Empire should have it in stock Friday, usually with the cover images uploaded.. if it is indeed available Oct. 18 here.
I'll wait for the Sunday sales ads to see if there's anything bonus with it at Best Buy stores, lol. Probably not.. but you never know.

From Queenonline.com:
"Despite the UK release date of the Queen + Paul Rodgers ROTC DVD being put back to October 31st, the US release through Hollywood Records will remain October 18th."
Kudos to Michael, who got it exactly right from the beginning. Bow to him, oh ye naysayers.

I know, and that's pretty shitty.
I hate being only able to look forward to "Imagine" as a bonus.
I betcha it won't even be mixed in 5.1, that bonus track. $10 says so.

Well those of us who got the Best Buy version of the CD have had DVD quality 'clips' on the bonus disc for weeks now. I did start to watch those on the web but I found that it was ruining the surprise so I stopped.
It seems that nowadays people guive more importance to the extras than to the concert itself.
Man, i`m from the time when there would not be any extras on VHS and it rocked big way. I know that with the HI-Tech nowadays people allways whant more and better but i think things are getting out of control here.
To say that Wembley has a poor quality or whathever, it`s not fair simply because it`s damn good, and with all the High definition nowadays i think that all the improvements in sound, from now on, wont be of great importance because your ear simply don`t get that.
To put a 2-disc set on this one would be great but it would also be more expensive, and for once, i really think that this was a wise decision to make because some people don`t wan`t to pay that extra money to see a backstage interview.
I think that in the begining they were planing a 2-DVD set, because they were counting on the Summer tour. Since that tour didn`t sold out they didn`t have enough material to fill the second disc.
Take care!
