What is BNK file?
The BNK (Test Drive Unlimited Data Package) file extension is a data package used to store audio, images, and videos in Test Drive Unlimited, an open world racing video game developed by Eden Games and published by Atari. The BNK extension allows the game to loop cut-scenes, load in-game menu soundtracks, and store user interface elements, such as loading screens. BNK files are usually found within the game's data folder. [ ⏩ ] BNK file extension

How to convert the file from BNK to TS?
To successfully convert the BNK file to TS, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.BNK). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case TS (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than TS).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. BNK to TS. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting BNK files to TS files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension TS, while before this step we had the BNK file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new TS file, or not.
