BPK is only for bink videos (bik/bk2).

Your arc.groups $void contains all types of video formats, but not bik/bk2.

Other than that, nice looking conversion Good job!

Thanks for info. What can be used for .mp4? I thought bpk was the same as using -m0
The game has 1,75GB of mp4 video files.

For mp4,avi,wmv,... => $void=0

BPK compress bik/bk2 videos (lossless)
Same goes for oggre (compress ogg audio files lossless)

Overall the best is to use xtool zlib+srep+lolz on almost all files. Audio files seems to be ogg (at least the game has a .dll for ogg) but i tried to use oggre on the .wem files without luck so i leaved it with srep+lolz. For the mp4 files they can be stored for faster compression times or just leave it and use the whole game with zlib+srep+lolz (something like 30 minutes more on compression). Dicctionary size does a good work on this game, with lolz d128 game size is about 8.51 and with d256 size is about 8.42 (but takes 1 hour more, installation time is almost the same). Didnt tried with higher settings. Maybe someone knows a way to compress those .wem files better (lossless) to get it lower.

Nice job, i like your conversion !!!
