@HunterEmrah

I tested with this bat file after unpacking the pak file and it appears that the decimal values are all 1 too large.

E.g.

7464214027 7575275053

Should be

7464214027 7575275052

This matches with the start and end of the file in question (1.mov).

The values in the bat are one too large meaning that when you 00 fill the main pak in the specified locations, you will accidentally fill an extra offset for each file, meaning that 11 times a value will be made 00 when it shouldn't.

So if 1.mov ends with: 00 9E 00 4D 00 00 00 3F

And the file pattern goes: 00 9E 00 4D 00 00 00 3F F6

If you use the bat file provided for your values, that F6 value at the end will be filled as 00, leading to a corrupt file.

You don't even need to patch the videos and audio out, you can compress it to about 13.6GB with xtool+srep+lolz anyway.

I don't think so, I have tried to compress with this method but the output size is about 15 GB. Can you share the compression method in more detail, please?

Will you use the xzlib? Also what is your lolz command line?

@KaktoR, why don't you use "Lolz" instead of "lzma" ? :rolleyes:

KaktoR 07-10-2020 07:56
Simple answer: it takes too much time.

@KaktoR

How do you over come the memory allocation error associated with FreeArc lzma? I have attempted to copy your 4x4 argument from previous conversions you posted however it leads to errors, even when I limit the memory using lc and ld command too.

The 7zip xz method leads to decompression error for me too.

KaktoR 08-10-2020 07:39
I don't have this kind of errors.

Code:
4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000
Installation time took around 35 min.
