@mikey26 im new at this so can u give me the command for the recompression or do i have to reduce the bik file?

[pakrat2k2]

dont recompress the bik files, take a look at compress.bat file & notice the commands for bin1 & bin2 ( max:1gb ) add that to line for bin3 and comment out other lines for 1,2,4 bin files & let it recompress just that 1 file. should then fit better...

Command line for Data3.bin (replace it in Compress.bat):

arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -msrep+lzma:max:1gb -dp"%choice1%\media" -x@Ex_v_upak.lst .\Darksiders2\%arc%

Edit1:

If Data1,Data2, Data4 archives already exist this batch (Compress.bat) will re-create only Data3:

echo off
:start
cls
set choice1=
set arc=
set retry=
echo.
set /p choice1=Please type game folder path (e.g. c:\Program Files\Darksiders2):
if "%choice1%"=="" goto start
echo.
echo Creating archive files, please wait...
echo.
:Data1
set arc=Data1.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto Data2
arc a -ep -w.\ .\Darksiders2\%arc% -mprecomp:t-nfj:zl99:d1+srep+lzma:max:1gb "%choice1%\media\media.upak"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:Data2
set arc=Data2.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto Data3
arc a -ep -w.\ -mprecomp:t-nfj:zl99:d0+srep+lzma:max:1gb -dp"%choice1%\media" .\Darksiders2\%arc% @upak.lst
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:Data3
set arc=Data3.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto Data4
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -msrep+lzma:max:1gb -dp"%choice1%\media" -x@Ex_v_upak.lst .\Darksiders2\%arc% 
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:Data4
set arc=Data4.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto end
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -mprecomp:t-nfj:zl78,99:d0+srep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 -dp"%choice1%" -x@Ex_m.lst .\Darksiders2\%arc%
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:end
echo.All done.
pause
goto EOF
:arcfail
echo.
echo.WARNING: FreeArc returns an error in archive %arc%! 
set /p retry=Do you wish to retry [Y/N]:
if /I "%retry%"=="Y" goto %arc:~0,5% 
pause
:EOF

Note: if just updated to patch 2, you must re-create all archives not only Data3.bin

Recompressed Data3. Final size 4.40 Gb instead of 4.44 earlier.Installed smoothly.

I used the new 3GB patch may be thats the extra mb?

And finally when i tried to recompress bik file of the intro cutscene there was no speech of the narrator in the new reduced one.Whats the reason?

[an_ultim]

The bik videos contains multi audio tracks, the correct procedure is:

1) Re-sampling video without audio tracks

2) Extract all audio tracks from original video

3) Re-muxing audio tracks with same track id with re-sampled video

I tried conversion with update #2 included and I ended up with 4514mb (won't fit). Hoy did you guys manage to put it in only 1xdvd5?

Thanks and kind regards!

Compression in progress... i hope that it fits on dvd5

edit1:

It fits on DVD5 after update 2!!

There was a bad zlib level & recursion depth (precomp parameters) in Data4.bin archive creation, cause update 2 adds new game files.

Use the Compress.bat below:

echo off
:start
cls
set choice1=
set arc=
set retry=
echo.
set /p choice1=Please type game folder path (e.g. c:\Program Files\Darksiders2):
if "%choice1%"=="" goto start
echo.
echo Creating archive files, please wait...
echo.
:Data1
set arc=Data1.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto Data2
arc a -ep -w.\ .\Darksiders2\%arc% -mprecomp:t-nfj:zl99:d1+srep+lzma:max:1gb "%choice1%\media\media.upak"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:Data2
set arc=Data2.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto Data3
arc a -ep -w.\ -mprecomp:t-nfj:zl99:d0+srep+lzma:max:1gb -dp"%choice1%\media" .\Darksiders2\%arc% @upak.lst
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:Data3
set arc=Data3.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto Data4
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -msrep+lzma:max:1gb -dp"%choice1%\media" -x@Ex_v_upak.lst .\Darksiders2\%arc% 
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:Data4
set arc=Data4.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto end
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -mprecomp:t-nfj:zl78,99:d0+srep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 -dp"%choice1%" -x@Ex_m.lst .\Darksiders2\%arc%
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:end
echo.All done.
pause
goto EOF
:arcfail
echo.
echo.WARNING: FreeArc returns an error in archive %arc%! 
set /p retry=Do you wish to retry [Y/N]:
if /I "%retry%"=="Y" goto %arc:~0,5% 
pause
:EOF
