===Part 2===
Part 2 shows the music videos, in order, that were released up to the point of the release of ''Closure.'' The videos are linked together by interstitial footage directed by [[Peter Christopherson]], as well as odd bits of old black and white stock footage.
Additional items are included on the DVD version:
*Behind-the-scenes footage documenting the creation of the "Closer" video with commentary by [[Mark Romanek]]
*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.
==DVD==
If you know what I'm talking about, cool.
The download is intended to be burned onto dual-layer discs. A single-layer version was eventually supposed to be uploaded, but it 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.
Several years before this higher quality DVD was leaked, a bootleg DVD version of the original VHS titled "Rated 'R' - A Retrospective" was spread around. Aside from the main menus which were fan-created, it is virtually identical to ''Closure''.
==Original live footage==
The original live document of NIN's 1994-1995 tour was to be helmed by Simon Maxwell, director of the videos for "Hurt", "Eraser" and the live video for "The Downward SpiralWish". The footage was eventually rejected and footage that had been shot concurrently by Jonathan Rach and Jeff Richter was compiled instead. Maxwell expounded on this in an interview [http://pantograph-punch.com/post/interview-with-simon-maxwell]:
<blockquote>SM: "Yeah. I shot all this footage. This is a really funny story, actually. We shot all this footage, and put it all together, and sent it over to Trent, and.... I don’t know what was going on. But anyway… he didn’t like some of it. For various reasons. I have no idea why. So we cut three or four of the songs, and they were okay, and then… we didn’t hear from him anymore.
