How to properly use UltraARC for a Conversion?
It is very easy, just follow these steps to make a simple conversion using any of the scripts supported by UltraARC.

Steps:

Step 01: Download UltraARC.
Step 02: Download a script supported by UltraARC from the same thread (Note: Installer Creator also supports UltraARC)
Step 03: Run UltraARC leave Source and Output empty but fill in other spaces in the program.
Step 04: Get your compiled setup ready and additional files (setup.exe, setup.ico and Redist[DX9 and etc]) and place them in a folder near UltraARC program.
Step 05: If the folder name of the compiled setup and additional files is GTAIV_BASE then set first volume content like this: .\GTAIVBASE then UltraARC will sort out the files by placing them correctly for installation.
Step 06: Set split options, For CD700, Set 701mb for custom volume sizes, For DVD5, set 4474 and so on, Bluray are supported too.
Step 07: Click on export config. then overwrite the one in the same directory as UltraARC then your conversion is ready.

Additional Steps(Optional):
Step 08: Just before exporting in the normal steps.
Step 09: To use conditions for installations, this is what you do. (Installer Creator, CI and CIU are the only scripts that support this)
Step 10: Click add to increase row count in the grid.
Step 11: Set files using masks or complete file name e.g. for row 1 (audio\lang\eng\*.*) and row 2 (audio\lang\ger\*.*)
If using Installer Creator:
Step 12: Add conditions, Under components and tasks, numbers are the only values accepted. (e.g. if your component number in script is 1, then set 1 under that row).
Step 13: Add language condition, values to put are:

Hints:

Hint 01: If you tick CDImage, Bink It, Crunch Texture or the other options, just don't forget to configure them.
Hint 02: Now when it comes to Bink, OggEncode or Crunch Texture and you have a lot of files must be processed, it's not a problem. Masks are accepted, e.g. (*.bik) and if there are more than many files to be processed, semi-colons are accepted too e.g. (oldvideos\*.bik;newvideos\*.bk2)
Hint 03: If using Bink It feature and you want to keep video width and height, just set width and height to 0.
Hint 04: If you want to give users a choice of making cdimages, open UltraARC and make sure that CDImage is equals to nothing, CDImage is under options.
