Convert MP3 to BIK

Understanding MP3 and BIK file formats

The MP3 file format, short for MPEG Audio Layer III, is a popular audio coding format known for its ability to compress audio data without significantly affecting sound quality. It is widely used for music files and audio streaming due to its small file size and compatibility with most media players.

On the other hand, the BIK file format is a proprietary video file format developed by RAD Game Tools. It is primarily used for video playback in video games and supports high-quality video compression. BIK files are often used to store cutscenes or in-game videos.
