Hi forum members,
i've to ask something about bink video compression.

ill searching around many thread but possibly found there is no compressor for it{because no zlib}.
Some people told resamble to reduce video size by reducing resolution and some more stuff.

wolfenstein 2009 game contain around 2 gb of bink videos.
While installing the game in game folder that bink videos appeared with .bpk extension after it'll decompressed to .bik extension with some tools.
{i'll search in temp folder but no bink related tools-They hide it some other location[I don't know that location]}
ill search around internet to found the tool binkunpack.exe.
That will extract bpk file to bik file.but video with some errors but playable.[maybe the error came from incorrect version of binkunpack]
In the properties of binkunpack.exe shows copyright to profrager(like isdone).
I'll search in krinkels.org but no tools relates to bink compression.
Anyway ill attach that binkunpack.exe and compressed .bpk file from wolfenstein.

Anybody who know the bink compression.please be share it.
thanks in advance.

Note.
Ill check the size comparision for .bpk &.bik files in the game.same video of 50mb(.bik) compressed to 40mb(.bpk)[/SIZE]

Access is denied "bikunpack.exe"
maybe they are converting the bik to another extension like mp4 then compressing it :\ BTW Revenants use their own tools ..

I'll use win 10 pro 64 bit .no access denied prompting.
They convert direct method I think.
Just drag and drop that .bpk file to binkunpack.exe then its done.

you can't achieve the compression levels of the group you quoted
as they are far advanced
they have their own reflate far better then Razor's public reflate release, a lzma2 decoder of jst 42 kbs and far faster, a special precomp.dll can extract 10 gibs data in less than 5 mins on my rig, special cls srep faster and probably more as i jst studied there 3 repacks
and surely profrager is the member of the group, there isdone is about 800 kbs in some cases and they has a msc having bmf compression
and the bad part they don't releases repack any more

as far as bink compression is considered, the answer is simple you can't compress already compressed data,
so it is obvious they reduced the quality
may be they are smacking it, what is the installation time, if it is too much then it will be a case

They're use special tools ok .that's no matter.
But particularly bink.they not change any thing I think.while installing they first extract the bpk and decompress to bik.
But in my temp folder I can't find any bink tools and other installer temp files except unARC,cls-srep,FAcompress.dll. so they hide it to other folder .but I couldn't find it...
I'll get binkunpack.exe from encode site.so decompressed data is buggy(video).

Next time BEFORE posing I'd STRONGLY suggest you read the RULES about warez.
We do not allow mentioning releases, group names, images showing warez ETC.
Edit your first post accordingly.

Notes:

NEW BPK in last v0.2.6 BINK Packer.
OLD BPK its unknown version BINK Packer. (decompressors not found.)
Any more *.BIK files its prepared/modded by repacker.* (BINK Audio
converted to MP3 files and remuxed onto BIK files.)

*Probably newest than v0.0.4.0 version. (taken from 2014 years.)
