Binkdx8surfacetype-4 -

When BinkCopyToSurface is called with this type, Bink will decompress a frame (e.g., from Bink’s block-based DCT compression) and convert each pixel to 32-bit ARGB. No dithering is applied, preserving full color fidelity but requiring roughly twice the video memory of RGB565. For an engineer maintaining a legacy codebase that logs this surface type, proper handling involves: 1. Validating Surface Creation Ensure the target Direct3D surface is created with D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8 :

BinkDoFrame(hBink); BinkCopyToSurface(hBink, pSurface, NULL, BINK_FULLSCREEN); g_pd3dDevice->Present(NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL); BinkNextFrame(hBink); frameCount++; if (frameCount % 100 == 0) LogDebug("Binkdx8surfacetype-4 active, frame %d", frameCount); Binkdx8surfacetype-4
