here you see how you send MP4 video files on my application how to make the format change * .mp4 to * .wmv files how you can give an example of how I can show the application method

Two methods for this game, this game can get even lower to the 14.8-15.0 GB ripping all promo,tutorial and credits videos (its safe) but as always i dont like rip ingame content.

Code:

Title:           F1 2018

Original Size:   37.9 GB
Ripped Size:     37.4 GB

Method:          binkpack on *.bk2 files (read note)
                 xZLib+srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 on rest of files
                                                  
Compress Time:   8 hours (28855.14 sec)
Install Time:    14 minutes

CRC Checked:     Yes

Note:
Binkpack doesn't work with this game, all bk2 need to be recoded first with
video rad tools to .bik files. I used a compression ratio of 75% for this.
After converting all .bk2 files to .bik files, delete the original files and
rename the created .bik files to .bk2. Now binkpack is safe to use.

To compress this game at this size you need to use first a modding tool on it. The game works fine with the DLCs unpacked, so dont worry about repacking the SFAR files. The advantages on this is that you get about 5-6GB better ratio on compression and also the game is mod ready without having to unpack the DLCs later. The disadvantage on this is that the install size for the game is about 5GB more (not much really).

Code:

Preparation:

1. Download and install ME3Explorer from nexusmods (Google it)
2. Open ME3Explorer and on the 1st Step set up the path to your ME3
3. On the 2nd step click on "Unpack DLCs", this can take up to 1 hour
4. Now you can close ME3Explorer and go to your DLC folder.
5. Delete all foreign languages, be carefull, best thing is to search for 
"_DEU." to remove all German files, "_FRA." for French and so on. INT is English
6. Now you can proceed to the compression method

Code:

Title:           Mass Effect 3: Complete Edition
Version:         v1.5.5427.124 (incl. all DLC's)

PC:              4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz) + 16GB Ram + SSD

Ripped Files:    Foreign Languages in DLC files

Original Size:   19.2 GB (30.2 GB after unpacking DLC´s)
Ripped Size:     24.7 GB (Ripped after unpacking DLC´s)
Compressed Size: 8.18 GB

Method:          BPK+Srep:m3f on *.bik files
                 xZLib+srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 on rest of files
                                                  
Compress Time:   3 hours 51 minutes (13856.50 sec)
Install Time:    10 minutes

CRC Checked:     Yes

Note: Crc is fine but one readme file "léeme.txt" is missing due to sintax, 
dont worry because its not necesarry. This happens to many games on UA.
