Convert MJPG to BIK

Understanding mjpg and bik file formats

MJPG (Motion JPEG) is a video compression format where each video frame is compressed as a separate JPEG image. It is widely used in digital cameras, webcams, and some video editing applications due to its simplicity and compatibility.

BIK is the proprietary video format used by Bink Video, developed by RAD Game Tools. BIK files are commonly found in video games for cutscenes and in-game videos, offering high compression and fast playback optimized for gaming hardware.
