------note
only MKXL videos were re encoded using
radtools and format factory
there is only a very slight difference
still looks great
also tip for making radtools encode to bink2
if you are batching wait until it compiles the list..
open a notepad and copy and paste the contents
into the notepad.
in the notepad click replace..
in (find what) type bik
in (replace with) type bk2
click replace all..
replace the radbatch with the notepad edit and click start.

the top setting usually does the job but if it does not use the bottom setting
