==DVD==
An improved DVD version was first announced via QuickTime trailer on nin.com, to be released in late 2004, but due to issues with lack of interest by [[Interscope Records]], this has yet to it did not happen. On December 20, 2006, two DVDs of ''Closure'' were leaked through the use of posted on The Pirate Bay's BitTorrenttracker. Shortly after the leak, a message on Trent Reznor's personal blog on [[The Spiral]] was posted linking Reznor himself to the leak:
12/21/2006 : HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
If you know what I'm talking about, cool.
[[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 eventually supposed to be uploadedpromised for later, 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 commercial bootleg DVD version of the original VHS titled "''Rated 'R' - A Retrospective" '' was spread aroundreleased. Aside from the main menus which were fan-created, it is virtually identical to ''Closure''.

==Original live footageAbandoned 1995 tour film==The original live document of NIN's 1994-1995 tour [[Self Destruct Touring Cycle]] (more specifically, the [[Further Down The Spiral Tour]]) was to be helmed by Simon Maxwell, director of the videos for "Hurt", "Eraser" and the live video for "Wish". 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 [httphttps://pantograph-punch.com/postposts/interview-with-simon-maxwell]:
<blockquote>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.
That kind of put a spanner in the works, and we were really short on that footage. It’s not something you can go back and repeat again. So yeah, that did cause a problem. And we didn’t reshoot anything as the tour had finished.</blockquote>
The original 1995 footage finally surfaced on YouTube on April 6, 2022.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq8Hebx_Wp0] 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.
