According to this review on amazon as well as another one there will be live footage and the video comes with 3-D glasses and stereoscopic glasses. I dont know how valid the info is but heres the review:

I got my hands on a copy early. This is the best work Tool / Adam Jones has done yet. The video is amazing!!! Can be watched with steroscopic lens or 3D glasses...the 3D is out of this world.
There is a hidden code that took hours to unlock. It is live video from The Pearl concert in Las Vegas...shot over 2 nights. This is really what all Tool fans have been waiting for.
The behind the scenes look at Adam's art is great too.
The real reason this will be their biggest seller is the video and live concert.
Here's the other review:
Absolutely amazing!!!, November 25, 2007

I got this early by having ties with the recording industry and was simply blown away. The packaging is pure art. Adam Jones and Alex Grey collaborated perfectly on the artwork on the package as well as the music video images. The music video itself has an extra 3 minutes added to the original cd version of "Vicarious". In addition, there is a live recording of "Vicarious" and "Swamp Song" from the April 28, 2007 show at the Pearl theater in Las Vegas, NV. This is the first time Tool has ever realesed live video recordings from their live shows. This is a must have for all Tool enthusiasts.
All that concert footage and that's the most they'll give us. Why? They record every show with up to 6 cameramen, and that's not cheap. And why Swamp Song?
Mark Jacobson says:
No one got their hands on an early copy, because it hadn't gone to press yet at the time of these 2 "reviews".
There is one copy, the band has it, the video is not in 3D, and there is no live footage from the Pearl shows last year. Those shows weren't filmed by the band in a presentable form.
i don't see why they bother recording so much live footage since any given show has an identical setlist to a bunch of other shows. the footage from this current U.S. tour leg, for instance, will apparently just be 20 recordings of the same set (except for the vegas shows, i guess). i've read that the visuals are somewhat different each time they play but other than that they'll all be pretty much indistinguishable.

I'm not sure where you heard that about recording every show with up to 6 cameramen, but it's not true.
They record almost every show with 1 camera, a straight shot from about 120 feet away at FOH (the soundboard area). It's one unmanned wide shot of the whole stage with a "pro-sumer" camera for archival purposes. Not exactly releasable stuff.
The only time Tool ever did a multiple camera recording of their own was in 2002 during the last week of shows.
