# Embracing Nostalgia: How to Incorporate Custom Videos in Retro Rewind<\/p>\n

A few nights ago, while immersed in the delightful whirlwind of managing my rental store in the video game *Retro Rewind*, I became enchanted by the last 20 minutes of *The Terminator* playing on a small CRT display in the corner of my shop. The chance to view classic films in a digital rendition of a ’90s video rental store was a nostalgic pleasure. If you feel this longing for retro entertainment, here’s how to transform your shop\u2019s screens into a time capsule filled with ’90s movies and clips.<\/p>\n

## What is *Retro Rewind*?<\/p>\n

*Retro Rewind* is a newly launched video rental store simulator available on Steam. It invites players to step into the shoes of a rental shop proprietor, reminiscent of cherished venues like Blockbuster. The game\u2019s lovely visuals of brightly colored shelves and retro decorations create a warm ambiance for former video store patrons.<\/p>\n

One of the standout features of *Retro Rewind* is the option to play custom videos on in-game TVs, which are typically equipped with generic clips. Players can replace these clips with their personal video files, opening a realm of customization possibilities.<\/p>\n

## Step 1: Selecting and Downloading Your Videos<\/p>\n

To begin, select the videos you wish to showcase on your in-game TVs. The choices are nearly endless, dependent on your taste. You can choose:<\/p>\n

– Movies
\n– Trailers
\n– Cartoons
\n– Commercials
\n– Music videos
\n– Custom compilations<\/p>\n

For genuine ’90s content, resources like the Internet Archive and YouTube are fantastic. For this guide, we’ll utilize a two-hour Blockbuster promotional tape found on the Internet Archive.<\/p>\n

Remember that *Retro Rewind* currently accommodates only three channels, so you\u2019ll need to combine multiple clips into longer videos if you have more than three to play.<\/p>\n

## Step 2: Converting Your Videos<\/p>\n

Once you have your video, the next step is to convert it for use in *Retro Rewind*. A simple way to achieve this is by using HandBrake, a free video conversion tool. <\/p>\n

1. **Download and Install HandBrake**.
\n2. **Load Your Video**: Open HandBrake and pull your desired video file into the software.
\n3. **Set Format**: Make sure the format is MP4.
\n4. **Adjust Video Settings**:
\n – Under the \u201cVideo\u201d tab, select H.264 as the Video Encoder.
\n – Go to the \u201cDimensions\u201d tab and adjust the \u201cResolution Limit\u201d to custom, then enter 512×512 pixels, which is the recommended resolution for the game.
\n5. **Save the File**: Name your file and remember where it\u2019s saved (typically in your videos folder).
\n6. **Start Encoding**: Click the green button to begin. This process might take a few moments.<\/p>\n

## Step 3: Integrating Custom Videos into *Retro Rewind*<\/p>\n

With your video converted, it\u2019s time to place it into *Retro Rewind*.<\/p>\n

1. **Access Game Files**: In your Steam library, right-click on *Retro Rewind*, select \u201cManage,\u201d then \u201cBrowse Local Files.\u201d
\n2. **Navigate to Movies Folder**: Open the \u201cRetro Rewind\u201d folder, then \u201cContent,\u201d \u201cVHS,\u201d and finally the \u201cMovies\u201d folder.
\n3. **Select a Channel**: You will see folders for the three available channels: Police, Sci-Fi, and Public. Choose one to adjust.
\n4. **Replace Default Video**:
\n – Locate the existing video file (e.g., \u201cRR_Channel_Public.mp4\u201d).
\n – Drag your converted video into this folder.
\n – Rename the original file by adding an “X,” “A,” or “2” to its name.
\n – Rename your new video to match the original file name, removing the extra letter or number.<\/p>\n

After finishing these steps, you can restart *Retro Rewind*, switch through the channels, and enjoy your personalized videos.<\/p>\n

## Final Thoughts<\/p>\n

This procedure allows you to craft a distinct atmosphere in *Retro Rewind*, reviving nostalgia as you manage your digital rental store. Just remember not to lose sight of your in-game duties while indulging in all the classic content you\u2019ve incorporated!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
