Partly in relation to compressing MP4 files, I'm experimenting with the command line version of FreeARC (Arc.exe) and using additional (pre)compressors in association with Arc.
For example I've tried this manually entered command -
Code:
Arc a -m=srep wigo.mp4 wigo.mp4.srep
but get error message -
"Arc: user error (Unsupported compression method or error in parameters: srep)"
Srep executable (srep.exe) is located next to arc.exe within the same directory.
And arc.ini (located within same directory as arc.exe and srep.exe) has an entry for srep as follows -
Code:
[External compressor:srep]
packcmd = srep {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp - <stdout>
unpackcmd = srep -d {options} - - <stdin> <stdout>
So what is wrong with the command to run srep via freearc?
