→DVD/VHS
The VHS release contains the main program on one cassette, with no bonus material. The audio is encoded in Dolby Pro Logic.
The DVD release also features an alternate camera angle (wide shot from soundboard) for "Gave Up", "La Mer", "The Great Below" , and "The Mark Has Been Made" on the first disc; a photo gallery and a commentary on stage visuals by Bill Viola on the second disc; and morphing menus on both discs. The menus are also accompanied by several different dark ambient music pieces recorded specifically for them.
The DVD was released in 2 two separate audio versions. While stereo sound is the same on both editions, 5.1 surround sound differs: one encoded in DTS and the other in Dolby Digital (the latter is more common). This difference is generally indicated by a sticker on front of the package or the back of the slipcase where either a Dolby or DTS logo is present in the lower left hand corner. Due to the DVD format's maximum bitrate limitation, the DTS version does not allow on-the-fly multi-angle switching. In order to view any alternate angles, you must exit the video program, and choose the alternate angle from the menu system.

==About==
The album, named after "[[And All That Could Have Been (song)|And All That Could Have Been]]" from ''Still'', went through many possible names, all lyric excerpts from'' [[The Fragile (halo)|The Fragile]]''[http://www.flickr.com/photos/10729782@N03/4637750807/in/set-72157624007552825/].
The film was directed and edited by [[Rob Sheridan]] and the entire project was done in-house. The NIN camp purchased several Canon XL1 mini-DV cameras to film each night of the tour from multiple positions, sometimes even in the audience, and the material in the final cut was taken from multiple shows and edited together to seem like one performance. While the video footage comes from the entire tour, the audio was taken from only four or five shows. The video was edited with Final Cut Pro and the audio was mixed with Pro Tools.[http://theninhotline.net/archives/articles/manager/display_article.php?id=145]. This approach was groundbreaking for its time, producing a completely DIY, yet professional-quality product by harnessing the newest available consumer-level technology.The idea for filming this way germinated during the [[Fragility v1.0]] tour, when footage was shot and compiled in much the same way for a half-hour MTV special.[https://www.theninhotline.net/news/archives/1999.12.html]
The overall ''And All That Could Have Been'' release was dedicated to the memory of Rodney Robertson, a close friend and employee of Reznor's who was murdered in 2001. Reznor was too deep in his addictions to attend Robertson's funeral, and he saw this as the impetus to fully get clean and sober.[https://www.spin.com/2013/08/nine-inch-nails-trent-reznor-cover-story-spin-2005/]

The photo used for the top half of the DVD cover is taken from inside a bomb shelter that [[David Carson ]] found at a home he purchased. In a 2003 TED talk[http://www.ted.com/talks/david_carson_on_design.html], Carson explained further:
<blockquote>There was some bomb shelter built, apparently in the '60s Cuban missile crisis. And I asked the real estate guy what it was as we were walking by, and he goes, "It's something to do with the sewage system." I was, O.K.; that's fine. I finally went down there, and it was this old rusted circular thing, and two beds, and very kind of creepy and weird. And also, surprisingly, it was done in kind of a cheap metal, and it had completely rusted through, and water everywhere, and spiders. And I thought, you know, what were they thinking? You'd think maybe cement, possibly, or something. But anyway, I used this for a cover for the Nine Inch Nails DVD, and I've also now fixed the bomb shelter with duct tape, and it's ready.</blockquote>
