Got this compression ratio for the .pak file on Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga
for .ucas file we need to apply UE5 compression, but require key for it.

18:24:33 - You have chosen the unlimited type for the output size.
18:24:33 - ISO images will not be created when conversion is complete.
18:24:33 - The computer will remain on when the conversion is complete.

Kraken+mermaid+zlib on *.ucas and *.utoc file is of no use (the ratio remains almost same for them even if you use srep+lzma2), as the file is locked for compression. Use it just for your *.pak file to significantly increase your decompression time.
There is even no use of applying lolz as well, as the compression time increases with very negligible less compression ratio.

What are you talking about? This is simply not true!

Compare results from Danziel123 and this here

We both are using different files for Data-01. I only have *.ucas and *.utoc
Whereas, Danziel123 have *.ucas, *.utoc and *.pak

Danziel123 got 38GB, I was able to manage it in ~40GB.
Data-01 > *.ucas + *.utoc + everything else > ~28GB
Data-02 > *.pak > 7.7GB (using kraken+mermaid) / 8GB (using zstd+srep+lzma2)
Data-03 > *.bk2 > 4.95GB

Normally, I wouldn't waste my time again getting that low compression ratio on *.ucas with kraken+mermaid. Logs for my Data-01:

[KaktoR]

Yeah, first, most likely because you used the wrong oodle library unless you replaced them manually beforehand.

Second, why the hell you set level 7 as compression level?
https://i.imgur.com/eqnUJB1.png

Third, I really don't know what your method here (zstd+srep+lzma2) is about at all.

Last but not least, you said
Kraken+mermaid+zlib on *.ucas and *.utoc file is of no use (the ratio remains almost same for them even if you use srep+lzma2)
We both have proven that this is just wrong. I wouldn't say at least 2GB "is of no use".

Edit: And because I just saw it, using binkpack (or xtool bink plugin) "is of no use" here at all. See
https://i.imgur.com/1ZDdVe6.png

Edit 2: Here is the final proof. I used the same method as you.
Your result
Even with the key, the .ucas file seems to be crypted as I can't get better compression than this:

23:30:41 - You have chosen the unlimited type for the output size.

I might try this given the ~2-3GB difference and the rigorous algo for high compression/decompression time. Thank you for the info though.

[Jarmen_Kell]

Thanks a lot for compressor and installer. Everything works well. :)
