Topic on Talk:Final Fantasy XIII
Bink's compression level is highly configurable (1080p instead of 720p would also really help), so that shouldn't be a big problem. Bink 2 isn't available in the RAD Video Tools but the topics you linked to indicate that the game will also accept videos in Bink 1 format.
Sure, but you are still compressing again an already lossy compressed video.
Doable, but not optimal
Hopefully they come up with some good workarounds.
I've yet to see any good encodes with bink ever. But hopefully that can change
Nice find! I totally didn't just post that link to 4 different subreddits lol
