    Icon5 [SOLVED]Cannot convert .mp4 to .bik videos anymore (RAD tools)

    Hi guys,

    I created several faction intro videos (in .mp4 format) and wanted to convert them to .bik

    I did it once, but now no matter what I do it's stuck like this:



    - I have Quicktime 7 installed of course
    - What can be wrong?
    - Btw is it normal the .bik format weights 15x more than .mp4?
    - Is there really no other program/way to convert videos to .bik than RAD tool?

    Thanks

    Edit2.
    I got it to work:

    1. I opened mp4 file I wanted to convert in Quicktime first
    2. Output file info must be renamed (even though it has different extension), because it sometimes work, sometimes doesn't otherwise. Doesn't make sense, but works.

    Example: "intro_poland.mp4" must be renamed to "whatever_intro_poland.bik" before binking

    Most likely the mp4 files had some weird settings or were a version the tool hasn't been updated for yet. And getting wonky results when saving under the same name isn't restricted to sound files.

    Reminds me of my so called 'smart' TV that simply doesn't play some mp4 and I have to convert those.
