supporting .bik

[AnthonyPython]

Supporting .bik video's to play in game would be nice to have. (RAD video tools), this would not only used for main menu stuff, but also a loading screen to use.

I think you still need to purchase the BINK license.

 

This post is a few years old, but unless the pricing has changed a ton, you're going to have to pay at least $8500:

Probably a better idea for Josh to implement his own then would be a better idea or use one of the open source like webM then or something. I mean I would be fine with animated texture's for a main menu or loading screen(if it isn't really choppy/laggy)

Yeah that's true. Video formats tend to have a lot of licensing issues with decoders/encoders and codecs, etc. but video support would be pretty cool.

There was source code for a theora (ogg vorbis) decoder floating around the forum a while back
