-[[Category:Tutorials]]You can change the Valve startup video when playing HL2 by placing a valid avi file called "valve.avi" in the <code>youremail\half-life 2\hl2\media</code> folder.
+#Redirect [[Startup Media#Startup_Videos]]
-Or if you are making a mod for HL2 you can place any avi file in your <code>SourceMods\yourmodname\media</code> folder. In order for the video to play when you start your mod you will need to create a StartupVids.txt file in the <code>SourceMods\yourmodname\media</code> folder. Inside the StartupVids.txt file you simply specify the filename(s) of the video you want to be played on a separate line. For example ...
-<pre>
-media/vid1.avi
-media/vid2.avi
-</pre>
-Keep in mind that the avi video will probably need be be encoded using the Cinepak codec. (XVid does not seem to work) Also I am not sure what other audio codecs are supported, other then Microsoft ADPCM.
-If you want to suppress the startup videos, you can add the <code>-novideo</code> parameter to your [[Command Line Options#Source_Games|Command Line]].

-DivX is also supported, however there appears to be a size limit to the startup video so if a video is not played then its filesize is too large, this has been tested with an avi file over 100mb.
