This tutorial will show you on how to Add, Edit or Remove the Startup Video.

The Bink video format is supported on Source 2007 Source 2007 and later, except GoldSrc GoldSrc, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and Source 2 Source 2

For previous version of Source (as well as WON/Retail version of GoldSrc): You can just put the .avi file instead, then edit the StartupVids.txt (only in Source) then point that to .avi instead (example: media/valve.avi).

Adding

Set the file name then click "Bink it!" to convert a .mp4 or .avi file to Bink.

If you like to add a Startup Video, you need "RAD Video Tool" from Bink Tools and a MP4 (might require QuickTime, which can be downloaded here) or AVI movie.
