The Bink Video filetype .bik is a proprietary video format created by Epic Game Tools (formerly RAD Game Tools). It is used throughout the majority of the LittleBigPlanet series, appearing in the original LittleBigPlanet for PlayStation 3 (and all subsequent games that use its engine), LittleBigPlanet Portable, and LittleBigPlanet Karting.
Bink is primarily used for the opening videos that play on startup, as well as the numerous Create Mode tutorials that appear in each game. LittleBigPlanet Portable also uses them to play Stephen Fry's narration over gameplay, such as in The Introduction and Dreamtime. In addition, early versions of LittleBigPlanet 2 used them to display early cutscene animatics via a scrapped Animatic gadget; this functionality still exists in the final game, but is not used.
Due to their size, Bink Videos are usually streamed from the game disc, or otherwise stored outside of the game's File Archives (except in LittleBigPlanet PS Vita). In the physical versions of the original LittleBigPlanet and LittleBigPlanet 2, the tutorial videos are higher quality, and thus take up more space on the disc, while the digital versions released through the PlayStation Store are noticably compressed, ostensibly to reduce the download size.
