Convert WAV to BIK

Understanding WAV and BIK file formats

WAV (Waveform Audio File Format) is a standard audio file format used for storing waveform data. It is commonly used for high-quality audio files on Windows systems. WAV files are uncompressed, which means they offer high audio quality but can be large in size.

BIK is a proprietary video file format developed by RAD Game Tools. It is primarily used for video playback in video games and supports both video and audio data. BIK files are known for their efficient compression, making them suitable for use in gaming environments where file size and performance are critical.

Converting a WAV file to a BIK file involves encoding the audio data into a format that can be used within a BIK video file. This process is typically done using specialized software that supports both file formats.
