Additional items are included on the DVD version:
*Behind-the-scenes footage documenting the creation of the "Closer" video with commentary by [[Mark Romanek]] (27:47)
*Easter egg clip of British Airways cabin crew listening to ''[[The Downward Spiral (halo)|The Downward Spiral]]'' and reading the lyrics to "Reptile" from its booklet. In order to access this easter egg, you must be on the (random) main menu design that has the selection cursor on the left sideof the menu items, and the menu items in the middle of the far-left side of the screen. Then, from the first menu item ("play closure part 2") press either "up" or "left" on the remote, causing the selection cursor to disappear (this can also be done from the last menu item ("dvd extras") by pressing "down" or "right"). Once the cursor disappears, press "Enter/OK" on the remote to start the easter egg.

[[Rob Sheridan]] has since confirmed that the leak was from the NIN camp.[https://www.patreon.com/posts/rob-sheridan-ama-34278427] The download is intended to be burned onto dual-layer discs. A three-disc, single-layer version was promised for later, but never materialized. The prototype is currently available on archive.org.[https://archive.org/details/NINCLOSUREPROTOTYPE] ''Closure'': Part 1 and all of the bonus material from both parts of the DVD version have been uploaded to the official Nine Inch Nails Vimeo account. As was the case with the ''[[And All That Could Have Been (halo)|And All That Could Have Been]]'' DVD, the menus are accompanied by several different dark ambient music pieces recorded specifically for them.
==Artwork and packaging==
The VHS set had intricate packaging, with each tape in its own sleeve and then being housed in a heavy-duty slipcase. This was then placed in a clear plastic oO-card sleeve that had additional overlay graphics printed onto it, 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].

Part 2:
*Producer: Fiz Oliver
*Cameraman: Simon Archer
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 to ''Closure''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]
