XTool 2020 (Plugins)

[Masquerade]

Bink Video

• XTool plugin adding support for Bink Video compression.
• This plugin uses Bink Pack library by ProFrager.
• Thanks to Razor12911 for the little help.

Advantages of using this plugin versus vanilla Bink Pack

• Multithreading support.
• No CRC check fail since XTool will patch the videos as they are unpacked.
• Incompatible Bink 2 videos (KB2n) are automatically ignored.

Special Notes

• For Bink 2 videos, you may need to make use of the --diff=* parameter as some patches between CRC imperfect videos to the original state can be larger than XTool's default threshold for patches.
• You may need to use a large chunk size to ensure all videos are processed. See example below.

Example Usage

• Extract the attached archive to the XTool folder and use -mbik or -mbk2 depending on your data set.

Test

• Test on the videos from Assassin's Creed 2 (27x Bink 1 videos).
