In this short article, I will explain to you how to easily convert Bink Video files (BIK) to MP4, AVI or WMV in Windows using RAD Video Tools. Then I found that Rad Game Tools, the developers of the Bink Video Codec offers a free tool to do exactly what I needed.

After some research, I found out it wasn't that easy to convert it specially when you don't want to install a complex trial software that promises that it will convert the file to any video format but at the end I had to pay to unlock the codec. After installing and testing I wanted to extract videos and images of the game in the installation directory, however the content was in this (new for me) BIK format that was unplayable without the RAD Video player and wanted to convert them to a regular format that I can share with anyone nowadays (MP4). In the last days I decided to play one of my favorites videogames of all time (Bioshock 2) once again with a new video card (RTX 2060 Super) to see how it performed. That's when Bink came out to the rescue with a very flexible and working library, making it easy to developers to display videos in windows or render into textures. This of course was prone to errors, and added hundreds of programmers hours in development and debugging time that maybe wasn't that critical for the game. Years ago, deciding to add video playback to a crossplatform game engine was a nightmare because you had to study the API for each platform, figure out the format that they use, test it and trying to configure the optimum ratio between video quality and video size (this was quite important when games were played directly from the game disc).

Bink has been the standard for video in video games since it was published due to its excelent performance, support and reliability.
