Hey man
I tried your conversion again. This time i deleted every other language and got the game folder down to 8.33 gb. Then i edited the bat file and changed compression to m0, like this it takes 5 min to finish , and got data1.cab 7.06 gb and data2.cab 995 mb .
Even with eng only data1.cab is to big . Some things must be moved to data2.lst but i don't know what
P.S. is 8.33 gb the correct size for eng only? I deleted every other language file i could find. Was just wondering if i got em all

If you want only one language with no compression, your Data2.lst should look like this (of course, delete these files from the Data1.lst ):

Movies\*
sounds00.bif
textures00.bif
textures01.bif


And yes, that's the size for the English only

I am gonna give it a try now . Will you update your attachment? I mean its not really working because data1.cab is too big, no matter the compression or number of languages. Just move some files to data2.lst
P.S. Could it be that we are using way too many emoticons? Reading our conversations.....it looks silly. Like we are some 13 year old school girls lol
P.P.S. We need a troll face emoticon

Hey
Done as you asked. Now data1.cab is 3.85 gb and data2.cab 4.17 gb. After i add data3.cab 335 mb to dvd2 it gets to big... 4.49 gb. I will need to compress data2.cab a bit but i don't know value to use. Can someone tell me? As you can see data2.cab will need to loose some fat, ~150 mb, to fit into second dvd

Totally forgot about that Try using -m4 or -m7 value.
