Also, I've tried using a program that opens and edits .BIK files but the new Star Trek Armada II Into I've made using the Stock Intro and the Birth Of The Federation Inro lost their sound when the game is running but my file works fine with the sound playing. What will make combining the two easier?

When you re-bik the files you need to set the audio format to 104 (I think) because Armada 2 uses the old format audio.

Dom EDIT: Jetnova pushed the origin topic off its original purpose, and I wanted to nip that in the bud

Both movies started out as .bik files, all I did was to use a bik video player and editor to combine the two. Alone in game, the two separate files work. In the Bik Video player, the new Intro file works, its only in game that it doesn't work.

You were right on the Ferengi problem causing all my other problems Megadroid, so I'm going to believe you again and remake the video file later using your recommendation of the audio being set to 104. I'll let you know if it works.

Also for those that haven't seen or played the mod entitled "Birth of the Federation" here is my combined Intro Video, please let me know if it works in any of your versions of Star Trek Armada II (I don't think it will work in Fleet Ops). I believe that it won't though but I am curious.

Has anyone by any chance tried the .BIK video file that I put on MegaUpload? I was just wondering because I am still having errors creating the new Intro.bik file.

In the program that I'm using to create my .BIK files, there isn't a Default setting or an area to set the sound to 104.

Does anyone by any chance know a better program to combine and also edit .BIK videos? Also what program will allow me to cut audio from videos to create a .WAV file?

For .BIK converting, I have been using RAD Video Tools and everytime I make (combine the two .BIK videos I want for my Star Trek Armada II mod's Intro, they sound doesn't work when the video plays in game but the sound works when played as a .BIK video using the .BIK player in RAD Video Tools.

Can anyone please point me in the right direction to create these files that I need?
