question regarding bink2/bk2 encoding

[Kitsune1982]

hey guys. i've noticed a lot of my games have bk2/bink 2 format movies, at least the newer ones i have. since radtools doesnt/wont allow non-profit users access to the bink2 sdk/plugin, if i encoded a bk2 with the bink 1 encoder, would the graphics be bad? as in, encoded a bik2 with bink 1 encoder then renamed the extension to bk2? sucks that us non-commercial repackers cant use the bink2 stuff or premier plugin without shelling out hard cash for it.
oh well. can someone tell me if it would hurt the bk2 movie quality if i encoded using bink 1 encoder? let me know what you think/find out.

catch you on the flip side.
