Easy Compression Tool (3 Step Method)

[alley_u2]

This is my first thread in this forum. I am sharing this compression tool (Bat file) which includes:

1. Multiple Types of Compression
2. Input Folder Selection
3. Output File Name Changer
4. Movie...Yes Movie

I have edited this bat for customization. This is basically for newbies who find it difficult to compress files with CMD line compression. Thank you & Hope you like it. Please give me your ideas to add more features to this Bat file.

Thanks: Sentinelks (Source & Idea)

Update1:
*Added CMD colour "Purple"
*Added "ISO" Support.
*Added Easter EGG ;)

Update2:
*Included ImgBurn Iso Creation

Update3:
*Added more variations in Compression

Seems like a useful post (I have not checked or used the file). I have moved your post to the Tutorial sub forum so that it will not get lost in the Conversion's section of the forums. ;)

good .. use the same system for my tests, some with many more options precomp043 and all the systems that I know.
very useful not only for noobs
add compression in order to create iso .. so please complete picture

example.. razor1911 converter

i used this method for compression -mprecomp+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

what is the method for extraction ???

This is to be used with inno setup or freearc...

[alley_u2]

ok but how to extract it ?????
Try this tool from our fourm http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=95097

Was the compression tool easy for you to use it? Please leave your comments

[alley_u2]

yes it was easy, but how to extract it for inno setup script ???:D

which script are you using? If the script doesnt support precomp 0.4.3 then replace precomp 0.4.3 with precomp 0.4.2. and the edit the arc.ini file i.e change packcmd = precomp -intense0 -cn- {options} -o$$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp TO packcmd = precomp -intense0 -c- {options} -o$$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

yeah good .. but the resut is one big arc file .. how can i split it to 4g max files to make dvd5 for example

[alley_u2]

Make a working folder. Put all your source files in that. Now spilt data in that folder in 2-3 parts. Then compress those splits seperately. Name your output files to setup-1 ...2...3 etc. Now you should have multiple small archives as per your purpose.

[mohfreestyl]

ok good thank's .. and the format .arc can i change it to .bin or .cab manualy?
And can you help me what is best compression method?

[alley_u2]

ok good thank's .. and the format .arc can i change it to .bin or .cab manualy?
in the coversion when u get the option to name your output name it xyz.bin or xyz.cab or change it manually later

[alley_u2]

thanks for reply but my problem is that the progress bar doesn't move during extraction and time doesn't count. is there any solution?

Its a script problem and has nothing to do with compression. You can try to ask the same in the script section. There is nothing much that can be done from the compression side.

Thank you for this but what is the difference between FreeArc GUI?
I am new in this so sorry for NB question.

Free arc multi compression are not the same as command line compressions. You can compare the same with gui version. This is faster and useful for most scripts in our forum

you should not change anything in arc.ini, precompress043 is not integrated in FreeArc 067 operates autonomously in eluding arc.ini to FreeArc

-How can i set that file will split after some size? I would like to that my installation will fit to 2 dvd 4,5GB. In you script i can only set compression level.

- Where can i find all possible parameters for precomp and compresion via your script?

-How can i find how much % less will be result of compressed file? I want to know how many DVD i will need.

- Last question. How can i add this to blackbox script? :)
Thank you for answers.

-All parameters for precomp can be found on the authors site. use arc.ini to edit the parameters

-You need to test it yourself because different source files will give you different results but option 3 & 4 should give you the least i.e precomp+srep

-Need to as the author of blackbox script (All compression except precomp should work)

[Joelz]

Thank you for answer. I have thought the this script will split file after if first archive will have size defined by user. Like in Inno Setup.

So i have guess final size and split files before compression.

I am testing Max Arc and it is not using all CPU power, why? I have about 45% of all cores.

About CPU consumption I am sorry I won't be able to answer that. The developer of freearc is your best bet.

[alley_u2]

Is it me or nobody has seen the movie option in the bat file?

[Compiler]

Good one mate,try adding support to for encryption with passkey

Any examples?? Haven't heard of this

[jackstuff]

Must add a shutdown/hibernate pc option, after completed compression mainly for overnight compression, graphical view would be much better like upload a file i don't remember the name of the member who uploaded it, means should be such like that & more option should be added

[Inge]

A "Split to Volume" Option would be Cool, if you know what I mean. Like in WinRar.
For Example: I want to Compress a Game in two (or more) Data files, fits on DvD 5. If Output Data reaches 4,22 GB it Switches automaticly to Data-2 till that reaches 4,22 GB, and so on.
Would make life easier, I think...

[alley_u2]

will try to implement you comments .... but i am pretty sure i wont be able to support gui

[jackstuff]

Compressing files on "max arc+precomp+srep" got an error while installing

[Razor12911]

rename maxsrep to srep in method

that WONT happen until freearc gets updated to support it.

[dadasalam]

your tools is superb
i tried all of compressor on this site but all of them (precomp stopped working)
but the tool of you worked like a charm amazingly perfect i love your compressor
thanks for this tool

[DGRPK]

waooooooooooooooooooooooooo many thanks

[george047]

It is great man.thanks.i was looking this for long time,becoz i want to compress like Blackbox.

Also what is decompression speed..? Is it slower than arc created by freearc gui ??

[r4ll]

How to use precomp 0.38 with this compressor

Thanks,

[Razor12911]

if precomp0.38 is not there then add it, edit the arc.ini or replace the current precomp.exe with the one for precomp038 but if current is 0.42 then you have to edit the arc.ini, rename intense to slow

Well nice work by the way, i added an ascii art and improved the border style of the file.
