Convert BNK to OGV

Understanding BNK and OGV file formats

The BNK file format is typically associated with video game audio banks, containing sound effects and music used in games. These files are often proprietary and specific to certain game engines, making them less common for general use. On the other hand, the OGV file format is a video file format that uses the Ogg container format. It is commonly used for streaming video content on the web and is supported by various media players and web browsers.

Why convert BNK to OGV?

Converting a BNK file to an OGV file might be necessary if you want to extract audio from a game and use it in a video format that is widely supported across different platforms. This conversion allows for easier sharing and playback of the audio content.

Best software for BNK to OGV conversion

One of the best tools for converting BNK files to OGV is VLC Media Player. Although VLC is primarily known as a media player, it also offers conversion capabilities. Here’s how you can use VLC for this conversion:

• Open VLC Media Player.
• Go to Media → Convert / Save.
• Click on Add and select your BNK file.
• Click on Convert / Save and choose OGV as the output format.
• Select the destination file and click Start to begin the conversion.

Another option is to use specialized game audio extraction tools like vgmstream to first extract audio from BNK files, and then use a video converter to convert the extracted audio to OGV format.
