''Closure'' was originally intended to also have a release on LaserDisc, and pre-orders were taken by Trimark, but the release was canceled.[https://www.theninhotline.com/features/news.nin.net/monthly_041998.html] In 2021, a [[Hoaxes_and_jokes#nin.com_Memorial_Day_sale|fake LaserDisc]] of ''Closure'' was put up for sale on the [[nin.com]] store as a joke. According to [[Russell Mills]], who created the artwork, a live album was also planned as a companion to ''Closure'' and artwork was made for it, but the idea was scrapped.[http://www.permanence.de/millscat/nin/index.html] The unused paintings can be seen [http://www.russellmills.com/art-1990s/ here]. ==Video listingContents==

==Other Formats=====LaserDisc===''Closure'' was originally intended to also have a release on LaserDisc, and pre-orders were taken by Trimark, but the release was canceled.[https://www.theninhotline.com/features/news.nin.net/monthly_041998.html] In 2021, a [[Hoaxes_and_jokes#nin.com_Memorial_Day_sale|fake LaserDisc]] of ''Closure'' was put up for sale on the [[nin.com]] store as a joke. ===DVD===An improved DVD version was announced via a QuickTime trailer on nin.com, to be released in late 2004, but due to lack of interest by [[Interscope Records]], it did not happen. On December 20, 2006, two DVDs of ''Closure'' were posted by a user named "seed0" on The Pirate Bay's BitTorrent tracker. Shortly after the leak, a message on Trent Reznor's personal blog on [[The Spiral]] was posted, linking Reznor himself to the leak:

Several years In 2004, before this higher quality DVD was leaked, a commercial bootleg DVD version of the original VHS titled ''Rated '"R' " - A Retrospective(1989 - 1998)'' was released. Aside from It contained all of the main menuscontents of ''Closure'', as well as the Woodstock '94 performance. ==Artwork and packaging==The VHS set had intricate packaging, with each tape in its own sleeve and then housed in a heavy-duty slipcase. This was then placed in a clear plastic O-card sleeve that had additional overlay graphics printed onto it is virtually identical to , bearing the artist and title. The typeface used on ''Closure''is Albertus. [[Russell Mills]] created several pieces of artwork towards this release, and some unused paintings can be seen [https://www.russellmills.com/art-1990s/ here].

*Director (Personnel for the overall collection):*Director: Peter Christopherson

The original 1995 footage finally surfaced on YouTube on April 6, 2022.[https://ninlive.com/shows/other/live1995.html] It had been preserved via a personal VHS copy made by someone who worked at the London editing studio where Simon Maxwell assembled his rough cut of the footage, before sending it to Nothing Records for approval (at which point it was scrapped). It was shot in [[1995/02/11_Dallas,_TX|Dallas, TX]] and [[1995/02/13_Omaha,_NE|Omaha, NE]] in February and was the same source footage used for the aforementioned "Hurt", "Eraser" , and "Wish" videos. A live album was also planned as a companion release, but the idea was scrapped.[http://www.permanence.de/millscat/nin/index.html] This most likely would have been the soundboard audio that was assembled for Simon Maxwell to edit against. According to [[Sean Beavan]], that audio was recorded at Dallas, Omaha, and [[1995/02/14 St. Louis, MO|St. Louis]]. [https://groups.google.com/g/alt.music.nin/c/q9OZ1fVJQ_0/m/KcFwgcAzO7UJ]
