How to add your own videos?
- Convert your video to .bik format.

  1. Download and install The RAD Video Tools https://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm (password: RAD)
  2. Open The RAD Video Tools
  3. Click on the file you want to convert.
  4. Click "Bink it!"
  5. Choose Overall data rate settings: Automatic
  6. Under "Scaling Type" button, type Width - 160, Height - 120

- Add your video to the game

The easiest way to add and play your video is to rename it to "VHS_Noise.bik" and replace the file with the same name in ProjectZomboid\media\videos folder.
This way when you insert and play any VHS other than educational VHS tapes, your video will be on screen.
Full guide on how to create custom VHS items and connect them in Lua will be added later.
