   Bink and DirectShow
  Hi Could anyone enlighten me on the difference between Bink (RAD tools) and DirectShow?  As I understand, they are both used to stream multimedia content. What I want to know is if I have a game that uses bink to play videos, can I port the code to use DirectShow instead? Thanks   
  Bink and DirectShow are two different products.Bink is a Codec used for video inside videogames.DirectShow is a technology based on filters that allow virtually for any kind of capturing audio/video from devices, reproducing videos, etc..Yes, you can port your Bink code easily to DirectShow as long as you convert your videos to a normal format or if you have a DirectShow filter that is compatible with the Bink video format.
