.bik (bink) Video Files.
« on: April 24, 2004, 11:40:00 AM »
Since UnleashX can view WMV,XMV, what about .BIK files? These video files are all over some games. Since they already have a converter (.AVI to .BIK) BINK for it at their official site. Could there be a possibility in the future for it? It would be nice for making skins also.

Would be a licensince problem to use blink.  WMV doesn't have a license requirement.

Lots of people use the vidoes on games backed up to the hdd as previews to save space. If the vids are in xmv/wmv unleash can use as preview. But if they are in .bik unleash can't use them. I would like to use the bink videos off my games as previews.

also whats the problem with putting a .bik player? Its not gonna steal anything off the people who made bink. And does it matter putting it on a dash that is already illegal because of using xdk?

Rad Game Tools makes the BINK format. Its a closed format and you have to pay to licence it to get the SDK for it.

I don't know of any Open Source player for that format.
