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. | Keep in mind that the avi video will probably need be be encoded using the Cinepak codec.

If you want to suppress the startup videos, you can add the <code>-novideo</code> parameter to your [[Command Line]]. | |||

You can change the Valve startup video when playing HL2 by placing a valid avi file called "valve.avi" in the youremail\half-life 2\hl2\media folder.
Or if you are making a mod for HL2 you can place any avi file in your SourceMods\yourmodname\media folder. In order for the video to play when you start your mod you will need to create a StartupVids.txt file in the SourceMods\yourmodname\media folder. Inside the StartupVids.txt file you simply specify the filename(s) of the video you want to be played on a seperate line. For example ...
media/vid1.avi media/vid2.avi
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 -novideo parameter to your Command Line.
