There is no inflate, but I'm used to testing individual groups of files, before compressing an entire game, and the method indicated is the one that most satisfied me in Time/Comp-Ratio, the result you can read of the size of the output archive.
Furthermore, the compression was splitted into 3 archives, if I had created a single archive, the compression ratio would have been even lower.
btw @dodo stay always on Wednesday in the middle of the week.

the tools are public, 50 mb of mixed files and with an available hour you will see that all users find the best parameters .. I do not understand why they spam so

What is the difference between mt type 0 and 1?

-mtt [0..1] - for multi-threaded processing, indicates the mode of operation used. At 0, the dictionary size must be at least 2 times the block size. In this mode, the data for each stream will be loaded alternating in size into a block. In this mode, in most cases, you can achieve better compression than in the second, but unpacking will require such a number of threads, as in compression. With 1, each block is compressed separately, without dependencies on neighboring data, respectively, the compression here is usually worse than in the first mode, but you can specify any number of streams to decompress. For this mode, the options from cliniot MaxThreadsUsage and MaxMemoryUsage are applied. Default: -mtt0

recoded video files using format factory, vgmtoolbox and scaleform encoder
also decrypted the UE4 .pak files i will link the tool i used for decrypting below
before recoding videos the game was 60 gigs afterwards 39 gb
after decrypting the game has zlib streams..

method of compression
xtool is used
xzlib+srep+lolz:dt1:dtp1:dto1:dtm1:dtw1:dtd1:mtt0: mt6:d100m:tt4 h14:fba4096:mc1023:bc8:blr8:bm
initial size 39 gb
repacked size 19 gb

unpacking time took 30 minutes

=========decryption tool credit goes to AltimorTASDK
it is included below now everyone can decrypt it

Or you can just pack the files back into their original archive during installation. I have made Resident Evil 2 Repack (Eng Only, Except Useless Videos), size = 14.3 GB. Its not really a good idea to play with unpacked files = slow loading times.
