Prior to the concert dates, Trent Reznor announced on the Spiral^[2] that two consecutive shows on the "Live: With Teeth" tour (namely, March 28, 2006 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and March 30, 2006 in El Paso, Texas) would be filmed in high-definition video for future release. The footage from these shows was used for the main feature of Beside You in Time. Several songs played at the filmed concerts in March were not included on the official track-listing:^[3] "Sin", which was played on March 28; "Every Day Is Exactly the Same", "Even Deeper" and "Suck", which were all played on both dates; and pre-recorded intro tracks "Pilgrimage", as used on March 28, and "Pinion", as used on March 30.

The main live set contains 8 songs from With Teeth, 2 from The Fragile, 4 from The Downward Spiral, 3 from Broken, 3 from Pretty Hate Machine, 1 standalone single ("Burn", originally released on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack; also released on The Downward Spiral Deluxe Edition), and 1 previously unreleased song ("Non-Entity"). Six of these songs overlap with those in the previously released live footage on Closure, and seven overlap with the And All that Could Have Been DVD.^[4]

The release contains bonus material from the With Teeth era of the band, including high-definition footage and full surround audio of the summer 2006 amphitheatre tour (featuring a significantly different light show than the arena tour), which Sheridan filmed "sporadically" on hand-held consumer HDV cameras throughout the last thirteen shows of the tour.

There is also an image gallery (in full 1920x1080 high-definition) and several standard-definition bonus videos included on the release: two music videos with surround sound, which were previously released on DVD singles, and three songs filmed live at rehearsals in 2005 (in stereo only).^[5]

[edit] Differences between formats

Though the video content of each format does not vary (aside from variances in resolution, bitrate and functionality), the Blu-ray disc is the most technically advanced product ever released in that format, according to comments made by video director Rob Sheridan on the Spiral.^[2] Another reviewer described the HD DVD version as "the best music performance yet released" in either high-definition format.^[6][7] Microsoft modified its high-definition VC-1 video encoder specifically to accommodate the highly frenetic and difficult to compress video imagery of a live Nine Inch Nails show. Sonic Solutions also accelerated development of their Sonic Scenarist authoring software especially for this release.^[8]

Each version of the video contains closed captioned on-screen lyrics and video content in the 16x9 aspect ratio; however, only the standard DVD contains an interactive discography (which is identical to the With Teeth DualDisc's with additions of later releases) due to time constraints. All three formats have Dolby Digital soundtracks for the main feature, in both stereo (mixed by Dave Ogilvie) and 5.1 surround sound (mixed by Elliot Scheiner); in addition, they include higher-resolution versions of the surround audio mix: either DTS on the DVD, or Dolby TrueHD on the Blu-ray and HD DVD.

The DVD packaging is housed in a digipak, whereas the other two discs are in format-labeled (red for HD DVD, blue for Blu-ray) plastic cases;^[9] more specific differences between formats are detailed on the release's micro-site FAQ.

The packaging insert for the Blu-ray and HD DVD releases contains a hidden message related to the Year Zero ARG. This message does not appear on the DVD release's insert.

[edit] Trailer

On September 22, 2006, a 42-second teaser for the video was discovered on the official NIN website and information regarding it was posted to the main page a day later.^[10] The trailer features live audio of the title track set to images from the "Live: With Teeth" show, including the film montage directed by Andrea Giacobbe that accompanied the songs "Eraser" and "Right Where It Belongs."^[11] The trailer ends with a very brief audio snippet of the song "With Teeth." Incidentally, the gap between these two songs is where the transition between layers occurs on the DVD.

Beginning a month before the US release date, a further clip from the video was posted on the official Halo 22 micro-site every week until the release, and a new full-resolution image from the still gallery was posted daily.

[edit] Sampler discs

Best Buy gave away Blu-ray and HD DVD sampler discs during the week of release which contained a small selection of songs from the main feature.

1. "March of the Pigs"
2. "Closer"
3. "Beside You in Time"
4. "The Hand That Feeds"
5. "Head Like a Hole"
