Don't Blink or You'll Miss BINK **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Jonathan R. | Udemy Instructor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** October 06, 2021 **What do you like best about BINK?** It's an industry standard. It runs on most game engines which is great so no matter whether I am using Unreal Engine, Unity I can use the pre-written plugins. The integrated tools for compressing and viewing videos is also a great feature. They have added a plugin for Adobe Premiere as well as Adobe Media Encoder. BINK2 is now faster and can be used for in-game videos as well as cinematic cut-scenes. The 4k support allows us to use this for console games as well as PC games which is really great. With BINK being self contained it doesn't any additional software to be used. **What do you dislike about BINK?** So far we haven't come across anything that we don't like about the software. They are doing a really good job and we look forward to implementing it as much as possible in our project. **Recommendations to others considering BINK:** If you are looking to implement any videos in your games, I highly recommend using BINK. There's a reason that it's one of the most used tools by professional studios. **What problems is BINK solving and how is that benefiting you?** We are currently using BINK to help with in-game videos and some cut-scene cinematics that I have been trying to implement in other codecs but found BINK to be the better choice. ### 9. User point of view **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2022 **What do you like best about BINK?** It can access as a static library about 282 KB and completely standalone. It needs 2 full YUV12 video buffers in memory. In this way it consumes less memory than others. **What do you dislike about BINK?** The price could have been much more effective and the user specificed platform should be much more compatible. There should be much more GUI. The UI and the base version could be much more user-friendly. **What problems is BINK solving and how is that benefiting you?** I am working with PS4 toolchain and also includes API for the GPU platform. The cost is way effective and gives the result as per the market standards. All together the system works in a proficient manner. ### 10. User point of view **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 22, 2022 **What do you like best about BINK?** The library is completely standalone and the memory textures compress with the requirement. OS and IO tools can be used for the operations. It is cross-platform compatible and hence gives a huge competition. **What do you dislike about BINK?** The GPU could be much better in graphics but yes the pricing and the user compatibility are way better. It has some bigger overload functions but it does not affect much in long run. **What problems is BINK solving and how is that benefiting you?** 4k video decoding can be solved easily with less effort and less capital also. The increase in working can be seen easily and works as per the market standards. The video capability features are nice. ### 11. The best video codec of the millennia **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Games | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** December 28, 2021 **What do you like best about BINK?** Its simple to use and the compression doesn't take much time to compress the videos. I didn't face any major bugs while i was using the software.

The application crashed one or two times. The price kinda seems a bit high for a indie developer like me. **What problems is BINK solving and how is that benefiting you?** I created a standalone indie game and used bink video for video codec operations. It was pretty helpful and has a great community. The game I've developed was just a prototype. Looking forward to create more with BINK. ### 12. Highly recommended codec **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Cristian G. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 20, 2018 **What do you like best about BINK?** Excellent codec. Fantastic for high-quality videos and so fast. The best possible video no matter what. It is present in several major video games. **What do you dislike about BINK?** The compression is not as high as other codecs. I think it's something that can be improved, but when the video looks so good, it hardly matters and is a highly recommended option. **Recommendations to others considering BINK:** Perhaps they should improve the compression to make it the best codec on the market, but it is incredible how many systems and video games use it, like the 2k studio, a true reference in the world of video games with presence on Wii, PS3, Xbox 360, Sony PlayStation 3, PC, etc.... **What problems is BINK solving and how is that benefiting you?** Very good quality of video in motion. Excellent compression, although there are better options. ### 13.
