yes. all ok!

[darkwolves]

first off the recoding of bk2 but it was not done to reduce quality just to solve errors with bpk compression i kept the same bitrate so the video is still lossless
also i took the 1080p and reduced it to 720p with the same bitrate
recoded bk2 to bik with a .bk2 file extension so the game recongizes it

Compression method
srep+lolz:dt1:dtp1:dto1:dtm1:dtw1:dtd1:mtt1:mt4:d1 00m:tt1

bpk for the bink
