The first tape is a documentary of the [[Self_Destruct_Touring_Cycle|Self-Destruct Tour]], and the second tape is a compilation of [[Nine Inch Nails music videos|music videos]] that had been created up to that point. A DVD release was planned for 2004, but never materialized. A prototype of the DVD was then leaked in 2006.

==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:
12/21/2006 : HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
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://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.
