Something is odd about this game. It'll compress whole data in only one 5.6GB file! (actually 5.6GB is bigger than 4.36GB DVD size and shoud be shrinked in 2 parts, but this wnot happen)
I test it several times, even with another compressor but the resoult was the same . . .

The size of compressed game isn't matter, the point is compressor put whole thing in one part, bigger than DVD size (4.36GB) instead of two!
