Convert a file: The RAD converter can convert almost any type of file to another type. For example, you can convert a bunch of BMPs into an AVI, GIFs into JPEGs, Smackers into flics, QuickTimes into AVIs, wave files into different sample rates, 24-bit images into 8-bit images, etc.

Mixing audio is the process of interleaving little bits of sound data into each video frame. Normally, you won't have to perform this task, because Bink will compress the audio track of an AVI or QuickTime automatically as it compresses the video frames. You only need to use the mixer when you want to replace or add another audio track to a Bink file.

Bink supports any number of audio tracks in a Bink video file, but it can currently only play one audio track for each movie (you can play two movies each with their own sound track, though). Bink's support for any number of audio tracks is a handy feature because you can put multiple languages in one Bink file and select between them at runtime.

To mix audio into a Bink file, just highlight a Bink file and an audio file to mix in (hold down the Control key while clicking your mouse to highlight more than one file at a time). Once the files are selected, click the "Mix in Audio" button to open the mixer window. The mixer window will open with the following options.
