Convert BIK to H264

Understanding BIK and H264 file formats

The BIK file format is a proprietary video format developed by RAD Game Tools, primarily used in video games for cutscenes and other video content. It is known for its high compression and quality balance, making it suitable for gaming applications where file size and performance are critical.

On the other hand, H264 is a widely-used video compression standard known for its high efficiency and quality. It is commonly used for streaming, recording, and distribution of video content across various platforms, including online streaming services, Blu-ray discs, and more.

How to convert BIK to H264

Converting a BIK file to an H264 format involves decoding the proprietary BIK format and re-encoding it into the H264 standard. This process can be achieved using specialized software that supports both formats.
