Driver: San Francisco DVD9 to 2DVD5

[termic]

Can anyone post a tutorial?

[Onizuka87k]

For 1xDVD5 i think the only way to do it is resampling some bik video files and just leave only one language.

My test:
- one language
- compress with freearc (-mx -ld800) the game's installation folder without "Common" subfolder (in this folder there are the bik videos) and i got 1,92GB from 3,37GB.
- "Common" folder is about 2,66GB

The sum is about 4,6GB so you need to recover at least 300MB with the bik resampling (using this method).

So.. we have to wait peterf1999, maybe he knows a different way, maybe more easier!

[DanielARG78]

I hope peter dont use recompress ;)

I changed some zip files Volume and Media Names to Disk2 but installer stucks at my changed lines and can't identify disk2. Hope someone figure out how to split 2DVD.

The proper way is the same, no need to re-encode all biks , take a look below: :)

But.. did you use precomp/srep? How the hell you got ~3,4GB without resampling bik files?

Het peterf1999. I've got a problem with your conversion. When the game (from your conversion) is installing, the ARC isn't unpacking. The installer copies the Common folder and installs Ubisoft Game Launcher and then everything disappears and I'm back to desktop. I've done everything step-by-step. I add that I've deleted everything in the Locale folder instead of Polish folder before compression.

Did you move DSF.arc to ‘DSF_DVD5′ folder?

Your archive is damaged? check it!

Did you created a normal archive (.arc extension), and not sfx archive (.exe extension)?

1. Yes, I Have.
2. I don't know how to do is, but it doesn't look damaged.
3. I've created a ARC archive (not EXE).

P.S. Tried on a clean installation and on 1.03 update. The same thing occurs.
P.S. 2: The size is correct - 4.26 GB.

[peterf1999]

:confused:

This is my archive:

2832

The installer returns back to desktop only if your archive is damaged (the header is corrupt) or missing or is exe sfx

I've done two ARC's and the same thing happens. Everything during compression went O.K.. What can be the reason?

Close all programs especially antivirus

I wrote it manually (like in every conversion I've done).
I will do it again as you said.

What is the amount of your physical memory?

4GB. I tried again as you said. The same thing happens.

4gb on an x64 os or in a 32bit os?

@kamyk95

from your screenshot it seems that you have only 1 gb of physical memory:

memory used for compression: 451mb
dictionary: ~ 400mb

try to decrement the amount of RAM used for decompression:

-mx -ld200m or -mx -ld400m

But won't it affect to the size of ARC?

hi, the setup does not work for me, when i try to open the file crash immediatly, why?

I followed this conversion:

Conversion by peterf1999

1) Install the game and then apply the patches

2) Extract ‘DSF_1xDVD5.7z.001…DSF_1xDVD5.7z.007‘ contents

3) Move ‘Common’ folder from game’s installation folder to ‘DSF_DVD5′ folder (don’t overwrite the contents)

4) Launch FreeArc and then compress all files\folders in the root of Game’s installation folder except:

Locale\foreignlanguages folders
FirewallInstallHelper.dll file
GameuxInstallHelper.dll file
fwecmd.exe file
gdfcmd.exe file
jre folder
Uninstall folder

Output archive: DSF
Compression: -mx -ld800mb
Make exe: Not checked

5) Move ‘DSF.arc’ to ‘DSF_DVD5′ folder

6) Burn or make iso with label name of your choice

when I try to start the setup it crashes.. where is the problem?? :confused:

[pakrat2k2]

read post #16

[Eraser_LH]

i read, the archive is not damaged (i checked it), i also tryed -mx -ld400m but nothing changes..

[pakrat2k2]

ive done the conversion on 2 pcs XPX86 W7X64 and had no issues with crashing. Make an ISO from the conversion, mount it & test install from there. try turning off AV too.

[Eraser_LH]

I already tried to do as you said, but unfortunately I did not get results and I can not understand what the problem is :(

[pakrat2k2]

what OS are you using & version of freearc ?

[Eraser_LH]

win 7 32bit (RAM 2GB), freearc 0.666

[pakrat2k2]

well if you cant use this conversion, uninstall the game, reinstall it add any patches then try yener's converter here
