How to Split BIN file compressed into a smaller size.
 

Hi guys, I use Compressor v1.2.0 or Kurutucu Compressor to compress file in * .bin, to be included in the installation folder.
Someone explained to me how it is possible to split the file * .bin in most small size, such as 2GB, so you get Setup-1.bin, Sertup-2.bin, etc etc, to compile and insert them after the installation with inno setup.:confused::confused:
Thanks !!!

already told the guy ... you have to create a list in the file list

example: you have 3 folders
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto

mouse contains 6gb
Donald has 5gb
pluto and contains 4

then you have to add in the list: Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, because pluto leave it without compressing the list, as it contains only 4gb

6:05 gb is approximate ok? because it is assumed that compressed fall into a DvD ..

but you can also sort the files in different folders and to understand if ..

downloaded one of the many conversions that contains the compressor with lists and studied with the spoon .. my boy, no one from the baby food;)



gia lo detto ragazzo... devi crearti una lista o liste nel file list o list1,2,3,ecc a secondo dei GB

esempio: hai 3 cartelle
topolino,paperino,pluto

topolino contiene 6gb
paperino contiene 5gb
e pluto ne contiene 4

allora devi aggiungere nelle liste: topolino e paperino, perchè pluto lo lasci comprimere senza lista, visto che contiene solo 4gb

6 e 5 gb è approssimativo ok? perchè si presuppone che compressi rientreranno in un DvD..

ma si possono smistare anche i file di cartelle diverse e comprenderli a se..

scaricati una delle tante conversioni che contiene il compressore con liste e studia.. con il cucchiaino ragazzo mio, nessuno ti da la pappa ;)

then there is no algorithm to be included in a batch command that compresses and divides the output file with the source arc.exe, must be done manually, folder by folder, the files in the output bin then you install one after the other.
I have not figured out how to use the file list.

no!
scaricati una conversione gia fatta e vedi come funziona

downloaded a conversion already done and see how it works

I know that when I write in English I'm writing African, but the conversion I downloaded and I understand the concept ... I am only interested in how to compress a folder with FreeArc and get more output split files, as winrar or 7zip, with the choice of "SPLIT TO VOLUME SIZE" ???
I hope I managed to make myself understood.

there is no automatic way to split by volume size, it has to be done manually

That's exactly. Who tells me how to do ???
I understand how to compress a folder of large size, with FreeArc, or Compressor 1.2.0 razor etc. ..
I did not understand how to create the same large files split, in most small parts ...........(Setup_Part1.bin, Setup_Part2.bin, Setup_Part3.bin etc)

OK OK .....I understood, there is an automatic way to create the file * LST, I have to do it manually, copy and paste, folder by folder?

For the conversions i made for my personal use, i use a program called dvdspan,, its split any folder into folders with the selected size. its work very well but the free version is limited to 4 archives.. i have the not free version wich is not limited.. But with that program i can make automatically six folders for example of 1.5 GB in a 9 GB game with external compression. Thats its the reason that i dont posted any conversion yet.. i'm working in my own compressing batch for my conversions.

The link for the program is this:

P.D. pakrat2k2 this is the reason that i dont posted any conversion that i have in previews :D.

P.D2. Moderators, i think i cant post the link.. if i cant, delete the posrt please.

The extension of the output is not compatible with inno setup or ARC compressor.

Found a way to split the folder of the game, with the same order of the sub-folder, then compress * .bin and split into several parts ..... "tested and working" without using the LST file *, slow and awkward complicated ..
Now I'm creating a progam that fits fast folders uniforms and compresses in Setup-bin1, Setup-2.bin .... etc, and then insert them into launcheur installation.
P.S: Era piu' facile a farsi che a dirsi..e ci voleva tanto.....:D:D:D

however yesterday around I found a way to do batch (luck ... mmh)
The mi sfortune is instead (I lost the site).
the guy it set the size, and it was too damn easy.
sin for all good .. if I find him I agree. if (list) :rolleyes:


friend if you found a way (here doubt it seemed to me) .. also share it with the rest of the class .. I use the dos with perl scripts but others believe it will be tempting

My way and much easier and tested, at this moment I'm working on the progam in batch to compress everything automatically, after a second progam splits the folder of the game in more 'parts.
I will post all finished in the first page.:)

joke :p

semi-automatic way to create LST files ( basically just text files )

start command prompt in directory where you want the list created

type in

dir /b /s >>"x:\listing.lst"

which creates your game listing for you, which will need to be edited to get the lists you want. Change the x to whatever drive letter where you want to save the list to.

@felice2011

The program splits the folders and create the archives in iso format, extract the isos with ultraiso for example and then compress with razor compressor,, its work,, i made 50 conversion in this way :D

I have found a way of splitting freearc archives but at this point, it needs development before it is brought to light.

I worked a short time, and the program 'complete, all automatically, except to do some copy and paste ...
1) Splits the root folder "Logically, you can not split a single large file in the folder of the game, in two or more parts"
2) Finalize the folder split by eliminating duplicate files
3) Maximum compression, with a choice from a minimum of 1 * .bin to a maximum of 8 data file * .bin.
If I can not and I have to work tomorrow I will post in the first page.:D

my method is very diferent. very imprecise about size, but if you want part this bat file give you parts. Attachment 10031

nice methods guys. I just figured a way of creating a tool for all of these issues, using your ideas of course, to ensure equal splits and max compression as well, with Precomp Srep LZMA. TBA 2015

I like both methods, these guys are good :)

I explained in detail this error: ERROR general (de) compression error in precomp.
The strange thing that on some folders the error occurs and no other, are forced to use the algorithm "-msrep + delta + lzma: a1: mfbt4: d158m: fb273: mc1000: LC8" that works on all folders of the games.
The algorithm: "-mprecomp +srep + delta + lzma: a1: mfbt4: d158m: fb273: mc1000: LC8" only works on some folders of games, on the other gives me the error ...
Which major differences between the two compressions?

SREP uses the first and the second also precompress ..
however precompress 0:43, I use it for my friends, and so far has succeeded in his work compiacendoli ... and use this precomp SREP + + lzma: 69mb: normal: bt4: 128: LC8


la prima usa srep e la seconda anche il precompress..
comunque il precompress 0.43, io lo uso per i miei amici, e fino ad adesso è riuscito nel suo lavoro compiacendoli, anche nei games più ostinati... ed uso questo algoritmo:o
o

Example PayDay2 only arc = 100% :) precomp+srep+msc+lzma = 60% :(

Which has the best compression ratio ???
Delle tre quale ha il miglior rapporto di compressione?????
con quale ti trovi meglio???

il precompress no lo uso quasi mai, è lento e impreciso.. se devo comprimere alla grande, ricampiono i bik e l'audio wave


the precompress not hardly ever use it, it is slow and inaccurate .. if I have to compress the large, resample the bik and sound wave

felice, precomp cannot precompress some files because of the nature/stream of the file, some files has damaged or unreadable streams therefore it is either precomp freezes or it stops working then that error will show up. this errors can be fixed by the improvements of ptecomp versions like Dante said, using precomp 043 but a common trait is the fact that 042 freezes a lot therefore you can earlier versions if 043 fails as well. like 038 and 040, either way, yiu can still force precomp to work if you grab folders or files at a time till you figure out which one causes the error then apply precomp on the other set of folders and files that don't cause the error and apply compression without precomp on them.
compression ratio and best compression doesn't exist because it depends on what a compressor compresses best on a set of files.
a perfect combination of compressors such as this method precomp srep lzma. for example, there can be a best mp3 compressor but if you use it on non-mp3 files it won't work. in other words you cannot expect results everytime you use precomp or any other compressor where they will never work.

Great, I was especially interested to compile a universal software, compatible with most of the games...:D

Thanks I understood how it works..:)

unfortunately precomp is at the experimental stage, and would not recommend using it, just to recover some mb, and only 20% of the games (Srep whole life in short)

1) FreeArc + Srep are the best combination
2) Resample the video, in many games brings a huge recovery of GB
3) In games with very Audio, Resampling with PakedMSC or WaveInjection+oggenc2 is good auspicious
