Retro Rewind How to Play Your Own Video

Playing your own videos in Retro Rewind is one of the coolest hidden features, but the game barely explains how to do it. Once you know where to put the file and how it needs to be formatted, it works every time.

How To Play Your Own Video In Retro Rewind

To play your own video, you need to replace a channel video file with your own MP4 that matches the required format and file name.

This is done directly through the game files, not in game menus.

Where To Put Your Video File

You need to find the correct folder first.

• Go to your Steam folder

• Open steamapps

• Go to common

• Find RetroRewind

• Open Content then Movies then VHS

Inside this folder, you will see channel folders like Public.

How To Replace The Video

Once you are in the correct folder:

• Choose a working channel like Public

• Find the existing file

• Replace it with your own video

• Rename your file to match the original

For example, your file should be named exactly like the original channel file.

Required Video Settings

Your video needs to match the game’s format.

• MP4 file type

• 512x512 resolution

• Keep file size reasonable

If it does not match this, it may not play correctly.

How To Get It Working In Game

After replacing the file:

• Launch the game

• Go to a TV

• Switch to the channel you replaced

Your video should now play on that channel.

Which Channels Work

Not every channel works right now.

• Public works

• Sci Fi works

• Police works

Other folders may exist but do not always function yet.

Tips For Best Results

To avoid issues:

• Keep video short and optimized

• Make sure the file name matches exactly

• Replace, do not add new files

• Test one channel first before doing more

Once it works, you can repeat the process for other channels.

Final Blurb

Playing your own video in Retro Rewind is simple once you know where the files are and how the system works. Replace a channel file with your own MP4, match the format, and switch to that channel in game. It is one of the easiest ways to customize your store and make the TVs feel way more personal.
