Although Reznor said "I thought the show was really, really good when we were doing it" while producing the DVD, he later wrote that "I can't watch it at all. I was sick for most of that tour and I really don't think it was Nine Inch Nails at its best."{{cite web|archive-date=May 14, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070514173115/http://www.nin.com/access/7_21_04/index.php|url=http://www.nin.com/access/7_21_04/index.php|title=Access|author=Trent Reznor|author-link=Trent Reznor|publisher=nin.com|date=July 21, 2004|access-date=February 1, 2008}}

There are two retail versions of the CD set: a 'deluxe' limited edition, packaged in a gray cloth case that contains both the Live and Still CDs together in a fold-out digipak, and the standard edition that contains only the Live disc in a single digipak. The Still disc is also available separately, originally via mail order from the official Nine Inch Nails website.{{cite news|url=http://media.www.bsudailynews.com/media/storage/paper849/news/2002/03/04/Features/Grading.Nine.Inch.Nails.A.Struggle-1298961.shtml |title=Grading Nine Inch Nails a struggle |author=Joseph Hampton |work=Ball State Daily News |date=January 4, 2006 |access-date=February 19, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080412001930/http://media.www.bsudailynews.com/media/storage/paper849/news/2002/03/04/Features/Grading.Nine.Inch.Nails.A.Struggle-1298961.shtml |archive-date=April 12, 2008 }}

Without introduction, it begins immediately with "Terrible Lie".

The songs are arranged differently from their studio versions.{{cite news|url=http://media.www.bcheights.com/media/storage/paper144/news/2002/01/29/ArtsReview/Nin-Live.Album.A.Mixed.Bag-170986.shtml |title=NIN live album a mixed bag |author=David Buckley |work=The Heights |date=January 29, 2002 |access-date=February 19, 2008 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080412033343/http://media.www.bcheights.com/media/storage/paper144/news/2002/01/29/ArtsReview/Nin-Live.Album.A.Mixed.Bag-170986.shtml |archive-date=April 12, 2008 }}

Still contains subdued renditions of older songs and five new songs.{{cite magazine|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5920156/new_cds_nin_bad_religion|title=New CDs: NIN, Bad Religion|author=Anthony DeCurtis|author-link=Anthony DeCurtis|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=January 22, 2002|access-date=February 19, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080416133021/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5920156/new_cds_nin_bad_religion|archive-date=April 16, 2008}} According to the NIN website, four of the songs were "recorded live in a deconstructed fashion." Instruments include piano, acoustic guitar, electric piano, or other "real" instruments backed by computer-generated synth textures.

Reznor said that "Adrift and at Peace" is the conclusion of "La Mer" from The Fragile.{{cite web|archive-date=January 6, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060106204543/http://www.nin.com/access/5_28_04/index.php|url=http://www.nin.com/access/5_28_04/index.php|title=Access|author=Trent Reznor|author-link=Trent Reznor|publisher=nin.com|date=May 28, 2004|access-date=February 2, 2008}}

Some of the tracks off Still are evolutions of rejected themes that were originally written for Mark Romanek's One Hour Photo.{{cite web|archive-date=January 6, 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060106205140/http://www.nin.com/access/5_07_04/index.php|url=http://www.nin.com/access/5_07_04/index.php|title=Access|author=Trent Reznor|author-link=Trent Reznor|publisher=nin.com|date=May 7, 2004|access-date=February 19, 2008}}

"Leaving Hope" is also the name under which Reznor has published music since the beginning of his songwriting career.{{cite web|url=http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/summary_0199-4189470_ITM|title=The official UK singles chart: Tony Christies's sixth week at the top equals the longest run at number once since September 2003 as the latest Elvis re-issue debuts at two and Bodyrockers at three|publisher=Music Week|date=April 30, 2005|access-date=February 19, 2008|archive-date=April 11, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080411234709/http://goliath.ecnext.com/coms2/summary_0199-4189470_ITM|url-status=dead}} Reznor later allowed "Leaving Hope" to be used in a public service announcement for Hurricane Katrina disaster relief.{{cite magazine|url=http://moreresults.factiva.com/results/index/index.aspx?ref=BBRD000020051214e1ch0000r|title=Helping the hungry|magazine=Billboard|date=December 17, 2005|access-date=February 19, 2008|format=fee required|archive-date=April 12, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080412023439/http://moreresults.factiva.com/results/index/index.aspx?ref=BBRD000020051214e1ch0000r|url-status=dead}}

Videos for the performances of "Something I Can Never Have", "Gone, Still" (with Jerome Dillon), and "The Becoming" (with Dillon and Danny Lohner) were published on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20160303190112/http://www.nin.com/visuals/ official NIN website].

The band also performed an intimate acoustic set at the Chicago Recording Company during the Fragility 2.0 tour, which is available online and on bootleg CD, as The CRC Sessions; it includes arrangements of "Something I Can Never Have" and "The Day the World Went Away" that prefigure their Still recordings, as well as two versions of "Hurt" and full band performances of "The Fragile", "Even Deeper", and "The Big Come Down". Nine Inch Nails' studio musician, Keith Hillebrandt, had filled in on keyboards for the absent Clouser at the session.

The DVD version, produced by Trent Reznor and directed by Rob Sheridan, comprises video footage from the 2000 Fragility 2.0 tour. Sheridan and other members of the band's crew filmed the tour using consumer DV cameras, and the DVD was then put together internally at Reznor's New Orleans studio, where Sheridan and Reznor edited it on a Mac using Final Cut Pro and compiled it with DVD Studio Pro.{{cite web|archive-date=December 27, 2001|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20011227151409/http://www.apple.com/hotnews/articles/2001/12/nindvd/|url=https://www.apple.com/hotnews/articles/2001/12/nindvd/|title=Hot News – NIN DVD|author=Stephanie Jorgl|publisher=Apple Inc.|date=December 2001|access-date=February 1, 2008}}

Although Reznor originally hired a filming company, he changed his mind based on cost and his experience from The Downward Spiral tour, wanting to capture the shows from a more realistic point of view. This decision allowed the crew to review the shots each night on the tour bus so they could tell what to focus on during the next show. As a result, the video is dark and smoky rather than polished, the cameras are sometimes shaky and there are no sweeping crane shots.

There are two different versions of the DVD set: one with a 5.1 Dolby Digital surround soundtrack and the other with a 5.1 DTS surround soundtrack. Releasing them separately allowed the picture quality to remain optimal on both versions. The DTS version does not allow on-the-fly alternate angle switching, but all the additional performances found via the hidden easter eggs on the DTS version are included in DTS 5.1 surround; on the Dolby version they are in Dolby 2.0 stereo only. Other than this, both sets are identical. This video was also released on one VHS tape.

The menus were designed to appear uniquely upon each viewing.{{cite news|url=http://www.macworld.com/article/1384/2002/02/reznor.html|title=Pro File: Nailing a New Look|author=Mathew Honan|work=Macworld|date=February 1, 2002|access-date=February 1, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080123212446/http://www.macworld.com/article/1384/2002/02/reznor.html|archive-date=January 23, 2008|url-status=live}}

The DVD package includes a clear, plastic slip with a message from Reznor.

Video artist Bill Viola created the multi-screen magnified imagery for "La Mer", "The Great Below", and "The Mark Has Been Made".{{cite thesis |url=https://digital.archives.newschool.edu/index.php/Detail/objects/PC020402_2003_rraveh |title=De-tail |first=Ruth |last=Raveh |publisher=Parsons The New School for Design |date=2003 |degree=Masters |location=New York |access-date=13 March 2025 }}

The DVD version has a number of bonus features and hidden easter eggs. In disc 1, there are alternate stationary camera angles for "La Mer", "The Great Below" and "The Mark Has Been Made". A stationary angle version for "Gave Up" is found by hitting ENTER at 26:58, or from the supplemental content menu on the DTS version.

Disc 2 includes a photo gallery and an audio commentary by Bill Viola discussing his video effects for "La Mer", "The Great Below" and "The Mark Has Been Made".{{cite news|url=http://media.www.nineronline.com/media/storage/paper971/news/2002/02/06/TheDailyExtra/A.Tour.Souvenir.From.Nine.Inch.Nails-2003222.shtml|title=A tour souvenir from Nine Inch Nails|author=Ben Wener|work=The Orange County Register|date=February 6, 2002|access-date=February 20, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080412104920/http://media.www.nineronline.com/media/storage/paper971/news/2002/02/06/TheDailyExtra/A.Tour.Souvenir.From.Nine.Inch.Nails-2003222.shtml|archive-date=April 12, 2008}} The NinetyNine commercial (0:30) can be viewed by highlight "Main Menu" in the supplemental content menu, then pressing LEFT, UP, then ENTER. A performance of "Reptile" (6:24) can be found by pressing UP then ENTER during "Suck" at 1:06. A performance of "The Day the World Went Away" (6:36) featuring clips from a scrapped music video can be viewed by pressing LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN, UP, ENTER at 16:10.

If ENTER is pressed at 24:15 during "Starfuckers, Inc.", then a video plays in which Marilyn Manson appears on stage to sing the end of that song, followed by a performance of "The Beautiful People" by Nine Inch Nails and Manson at the Madison Square Garden.

If "7" (or "6" on some versions) is pressed at 11:19 on Disc 2,{{cite news|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-51364042.html|title=DVD review: Nine Inch Nails releases And All That Could Have Been|author=Peter Koven|work=McGill Tribune|date=March 12, 2002|access-date=February 20, 2008|format=fee required|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110517023256/http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-51364042.html|archive-date=May 17, 2011}} the "Beneath The Surface" menu appears,{{cite news|url=http://media.www.unogateway.com/media/storage/paper968/news/2002/02/05/ArtsLeisure/Fragility.2.0.Bruises.Heal.Dvd.Is.Forever-2545105.shtml|title=Fragility 2.0: Bruises heal, DVD is forever|author=Mike Machian|work=The Gateway|date=February 5, 2002|access-date=February 19, 2008|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080411202116/http://media.www.unogateway.com/media/storage/paper968/news/2002/02/05/ArtsLeisure/Fragility.2.0.Bruises.Heal.Dvd.Is.Forever-2545105.shtml|archive-date=April 11, 2008}} which allows access to the aforementioned easter eggs as well as promo spots for The Fragile (0:30) and its remix album Things Falling Apart (1:02).
