Bik it up!

[WhiteX]

Is there anyway to watch a .bik file without having to play the game once again?

You can use the Rad Video Tools provided at their site. They're the ones who came up with the BINK format, and you can use the tool to play a .bik file if you have it on-hand.

Yeah! it works. However it says that "it is not a Bink file" for all the FMVs of Prince of Persia Warrior Within.

Then chances are, those aren't Bink files. They may also have secondary compression algorithms applied to them. If that's the case, I won't be able to help you.

They are bink because the credits show the bink logo, however i believe the second option is closer to the truth.THX man!

No problem. I came accross the Bink file format when I was working with Blizzard's STORM library for managing their Mopaq archives. I initially looked THAT up to extract the music files from StarCraft, which I have now created an Audio CD out of (including the Brood War musics)
