What are BIK files and how to open them

What is a BIK file?

A .BIK file is a Bink Video file.

Files containing the .bik file extension are associated with various computer games. Bink is a codec used to compress video files at up to three times the playback speed of a DVD. This allows games that use the BIK file format to use less memory than other types of video game codecs.

The data in the BIK file is usually a video that is played during a user's gameplay experience. So, for example, when a video game cuts to a video sequence, that video sequence can be stored in the BIK file format to make the file size of the gaming application more manageable.
