Sometime last year I found a repository of videos from <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewArtist%253FartistId%253D107917%2526originStoreFront%253D143441%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"Nine Inch Nails\">Nine Inch Nails<\/a>, including the uncensored version of &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewAlbum%253FselectedItemId%253D112292%2526playListId%253D112294%2526originStoreFront%253D143441%26partnerId%3D30\" title=\"Closer\">Closer<\/a>&#8221; and the infamous Broken short film. Most of the videos have been available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/detail\/-\/1573623709\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Mark Romanek, Peter Christopherson, Jonathan Rach: 'Nine Inch Nails - Closure'\">on VHS<\/a> for a while now, but the DVD version hasn&#8217;t been released yet, so I decided to play with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/ilife\/idvd\/\" title=\"Apple - iLife - iDVD\">iDVD<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve not really poked around with either iDVD or <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/ilife\/imovie\/\" title=\"Apple - iLife - iMovie\">iMovie<\/a> in the past, as I don&#8217;t have any sort of video input other than my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.apple.com\/isight\/\" title=\"Apple - iSight\">iSight<\/a>. Home movies aren&#8217;t exactly something I&#8217;m playing with at the moment, in other words. Still, it was really easy to put this project together: opened iDVD, chose an appropriate background theme, tossed in the videos, added background music from iTunes for the different menus, and burn. Nice and easy, and now I&#8217;ve got my own DVD of Nine Inch Nails videos &#8212; and even when they are officially released on DVD, I&#8217;d lay good money down that the collection won&#8217;t include the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Broken_-_The_Movie\" title=\"Broken - the movie\">Broken short film<\/a>, so I&#8217;ve got that, too.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/graphics\/2005\/01\/graphics\/visualhalo-main.png\" height=\"299\" width=\"400\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" vspace=\"0\" alt=\"Visual Halo main menu\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/click?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941.10000002&amp;subid=0&amp;type=4\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" border=\"0\" width=\"61\" height=\"15\" alt=\"iTunes\" src=\"http:\/\/images.apple.com\/itunesaffiliates\/logos\/iTunes_sm_bdg61x15.png\"><\/a> &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DNine Inch Nails%2526albumTerm=Closer to God%2526songTerm=Closer to God%26partnerId%3D30\">Closer to God<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DNine Inch Nails%26partnerId%3D30\">Nine Inch Nails<\/a> from the album <em><a href=\"http:\/\/click.linksynergy.com\/fs-bin\/stat?id=xLsJkztrnNY&amp;offerid=78941&amp;type=3&amp;subid=0&amp;tmpid=1826&amp;RD_PARM1=itms%253A%252F%252Fphobos.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZSearch.woa%252Fwa%252Fcom.apple.jingle.search.DirectAction%252FadvancedSearchResults%253FartistTerm%253DNine Inch Nails%2526albumTerm=Closer to God%26partnerId%3D30\">Closer to God<\/a><\/em> (1994, 5:05).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nice and easy, and now I&#8217;ve got my own DVD of Nine Inch Nails videos &mdash; and even when they are officially released on DVD, I&#8217;d lay good money down that the collection won&#8217;t include the Broken short film, so I&#8217;ve got that, too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[2035,2037],"tags":[80,3588],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3047"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3047\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/michaelhans.com\/eclecticism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
