Surely, your nickname matches yourself, Revolted5555.

To make it simple for you understand: DO THE CONVERSION AGAIN, but carefully follow the steps and see if YOU haven't done something wrong.. This, or buy a Double-Layer DVD (DVD9). No, better, buy two single DVD5 for the 2xDVD5 conversion for MUCH LESS messing. Seriously.
Oh, BTW, Peterf's final sizes for the "PreComp'ed" and "SRep'ed" are about 9Gb and 5Gb, respectively.

For a better explanation, read further... but there's neither needed nor useful for you. Just do the conversion again.

No - And mainly because FreeArc should be able to compress the "SRep'ed" file far more than compressing the original game files without neither PreComp Nor SRep, so getting a file EVEN BIGGER in the final FreeArc's compression is just VERY unlikely, mostly due a mistake from you.

Oh, and before I forget: NEITHER YOU NOR lllo talked about the FINAL .arc filesize(The one you create after FreeArc with no-compress settings, then PreComp then SRep). I cannot read your minds or see the filesizes from your PC to GUESS that all the sh*t that happened was with the Freearc's final compression. That's why people should inform the maximum avaliable data so we can SURELY say what's wrong, as a "PreComp'ed" file is supposed to be bigger than the original, "uncompressed" file. This (FreeArc's zero compression followed by PreComp then SRep then MAX SETTINGS for FreeArc again) is done to archieve a even bigger compression with FreeArc

I'll not correct you, do it by yourself. PERIOD.


Oh, BTW, don't expect too much reply from Peterf too. Just see the last ones a little above...
