A momentous occasion here folks...Long time fans/ETS members, check it out:
Remember this?:
An asshole on Ebay, back in 2003, somehow got his hands on some INCREDIBLY rare and intimate behind the scenes footage of the making of the Closer video, and offered a 2 hour VHS dub for auction at a ridiculous fucking price, then backed out at the last minute and disappeared, leaving the winning bidders (including our very own Leviathant) with their dicks in their hands...
Anyways, after much investigation, disappointment, and dead ends...
WE GOT 'EM!!!! ....And not just the 2 hours the ebay douche was trying to sell, but almost 5 hours worth!
A few points:
These are NOT sourced from the same footage that was used on the 'Appendage' extras section of the Closure dvd leak, but from an alternate camera angle, shot by a completely different individual who also filmed on set.
And no, before any wise-ass starts throwing accusations around, i WAS NOT the original seller of these things on Ebay. As you all know by now, i share everything rare i have freely and without catches, and if I had access to these bloody things at any time, you all would have had them for FREE a long, long fucking time ago. The lengths i went to ta get these things would blow your mind...It was an obsession for me, my NIN holy grail. But it worked out in the end.
The original seller claimed to have 12 hours of raw footage, but i highly doubt this. This is all there ever was - i'm pretty sure of that after 5 years of research and chasing various leads, which cost me a bunch of time, money and probably years off my life...
I'd like to dedicate the release of these dvds to everyone who contributed to the "Blud Fund", organized by the very awesome Naut and Ryan at ETS/nin.au, which helped myself and my family through a very bad patch of financial difficulty and poor health. I hope this helps to say thanks and provides a nice little payback for all of your extraordinary generosity in my time of need. I hope you enjoy them, and again, words can't say how overwhelmed myself and my family were by your help. Thanks again everyone.
Mega thanks too to Itsjustdave who went right beyond the call of duty as usual on this, Nympholept and Leviathant for all helping in one way or another to get these out to everyone. Their assistance was invaluable.
Should you see any person, EVER trying to profit from these dvds on Ebay or anywhere else, please contact me at eatyourblud2@gmail.com IMMEDIATELY and i'll take care of it. No money should EVER change hands for these discs...They are a gift to the community. Some of this footage is very cool.
ENJOY!

browse for the TS folder which contains the dvd you want to burn.
then burn it (build)

NeroVision would accomplish this task I believe. It's what I used to turn 5 DVDs into 3. I believe it would also handle the recompression. You'll likely want to convert to NTSC in the process of doing this, but I'd recommend shooting for a DL DVD.
Before anyone steps in and asks why didn't I just turn this into an NTSC DL DVD before seeding, I'll state it plainly. I didn't want to sacrifice even the slightest bit of quality in a transcode.

Wow awesome!
Once I get this (sometime later this week I assume) I'll seed it forever.
edit: Oh thanks!

thank you very much for this gem, i'll seed it for a long time once i have it. wow. just wow.
Holy shit, I can't imagine the amount of work it must have taken to track these down. Honestly, I had given up any hope of ever seeing these after that prick from ebay ran off. Congratulations on finally getting these and many, many thanks for putting them up here for us!
Most excellent! I'll be seeding 'till eternity, and down with asshole extortionists!
eatyourblud, you are the hero of NIN community. May the australian sun shine on your ass a long time (you guys do walk upside down on your hands down there, right?).
