The BBC edition is 530 minutes.

The American, Discovery Channel edition is 480.

The American version is shorter because of footage that they originally cut to allow for commercials on the Discovery Channel broadcast.

I don't know about the DVD version, but it definitely does have extras that both the BBC and Discovery Channel HD version don't have.

There is some explanation to this in the Movie section of the HD Digest Review
