Monsters vs. Aliens (c) Activision DVD9 to DVD5
NO languages deleted
only the intros



I. Recompressing:
1. copy the contents of the dvd to the hard disk.

2. download this file and extract it to the folder where you have extracted the game
http://fileforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=915&d=1238159554
PS: you should copy cabarc.exe to your "windows/system32" folder

3. open Group1.cab with winrar and extract all files to the "Extracted" folder
(after extracting look if there is _3D165014E8D638F1474F474DD31B51DD with the size ca 1.5 GB)

4. open Group11.cab and extract only the file "_29C387268172EA624EA231C14DCBB949" to the "Extracted" folder

5. Now execute "Create_CAB_Files.bat" ( it should take one hour)

6. after the operation copy the files from the "CompressedCabs" to the main folder (where "Activision(R).msi" is)


II. deleting Intro Movies
1. go to the folder "Setup\Data\video" and delete those files:

ActivisionIntro.usm
BeenoxIntro.usm
DreamWorksIntro.usm
PreRender1.usm



The end size should be 4.23 GB

Now you can burn it.
use any label that you want
(recommended: MVA_DVD)

TESTED!!!

[acrosurfer]

finally it's works. using Yener90 method with Ravd edit about "extrac32.exe"
so the bat file will be the followin for me:

begin of the bat file
@echo off
echo Cabarc AutoCompress v0.1 by ravd

setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion

if exist %CD%\cabarc.exe GOTO START
if exist %windir%\system32\extrac32.exe (GOTO START) else (GOTO END)

:START
SET fin=CompressedCabs
SET des=Extracted

cabarc.exe -m LZX:21 -s 6144 -i 1 n %fin%\Group1.cab @%des%\Group1.cab.list
cabarc.exe -m LZX:21 -s 6144 -i 1 n %fin%\Group2.cab @%des%\Group2.cab.list
cabarc.exe -m LZX:21 -s 6144 -i 1 n %fin%\Group3.cab @%des%\Group3.cab.list
cabarc.exe -m LZX:21 -s 6144 -i 1 n %fin%\Group4.cab @%des%\Group4.cab.list
cabarc.exe -m LZX:21 -s 6144 -i 1 n %fin%\Group11.cab @%des%\Group11.cab.list

end of the bat file
