Total data+table: 44582269539 -> 80047139297

This seems correct to me, i got something like 445xxxxx -> 800xxxxx too (looked at this at the morning and i can remember at least the first numbers hehe).

Thanks for doing it on lzma !!!

Yeah, on first day its hard to understand everything but with brain and searching,testing itself and trying to understand how the stuff works its usually pretty easy.

As a final tip: When xtools fails you have ztools xDDD (works inverted too)

Assassin's Creed Odyssey

*.webm, *.bk2 with m0
*.forge with afr:a2+srep:m3f+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb273:mc100000 0000:lc8
rest of files with srep:m3f+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb273:mc1000000000:lc 8

Compression time took about 7 hours.

Code:

22:52:42 - Starting Data1.bin creation
22:53:02 - Finished Data1.bin creation
22:53:03 - Starting Data2.bin.001 creation
 5:49:07 - Finished Data2.bin.001 creation
 5:49:08 - Starting Data3.bin.001 creation
 6:05:01 - Finished Data3.bin.001 creation

46.3GB => 25.5GB

Hi KaktoR, im wondering what "m0" is to try it myself again with those media files. Thanks for the lzma results on this game. This game has fast compression times even on lolz. Just a fun fact: Looking at my compressed ac library, unity is the biggest game hahaha (and its the smallest of the last 4 games).

KaktoR · #8 06-10-2018, 03:43

m0 is zero compression (storing).

However, you could re-encode the webm files to lower resolution or less frames or details for example.

Ahhh ok, many many thanks. Was wondering about that. I dont like lower resolution on videos, for me its better to have them on original and i think that lowering can get those 600mb to maybe 400mb, so its not worth. Was wondering if this was just the same as binkpack where you can gain some extra mb without much time consuming or losing quality.

Thanks for the reply KaktoR !!!

I will post on the next days all Final Fantasy games with almost same method (some little changes). I have done already the biggest one (XV) but im testing it ingame because i removed duplicated videos and im not sure if its working good. So in meantime here are the FF series in order.
