Overview
In this tutorial you will learn how to convert a video into the required .BIK format and to be played ingame. You will not learn how to record a video, only to embedd it ingame.
Record you're video
To record you're video you will need a video recording tool such as FRAPS or the built in Source Recorder.
If you want to add the TV tuned music from the VALVe video files You can find three TV tuned sound files in Steam\steamapps\username\team fortress 2\tf\sound\ui.
Converting the file
TF2 will only play .BIK (Bink) files. You will need to use RAD video tools to convert the video, you can get the RAD Video Tools here.
Embedding the video .BIK
Place your .BIK video into Steam\steamapps\username\team fortress 2\tf\media. Make sure you name your video file the same name as your map, so the engine knows what map the video belongs to. For example if for dusbowl the video would be named cp_dustbowl.BIK.
Now when you launch the map, it will have a Watch Movie option for you to watch you're video.
