inital size 8,36
repack size 3.85


this lzma2 used 7zip commands

[External compressor:lzma2]
header = 0
packcmd = 7z a -txz -an -mcrc=0 -m0=lzma2{:option} -mmt3 -si -so <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = 7z x -txz -an -mmt3 -si -so <stdin> <stdout>

------note
3 methods on most games i repack..
because i use 3 data files to seperate content.
it helps avoid crc check errors.
and target specific files..
besides i suck at making masks..lol

(method)
used format factory to convert wmv to mkv under very low settings
reducing the size over 1000%
then compressing with

srep+delta+lzma:ultra:a1:mfbt4:d200m:fb273:mc10000 00000:lc8

after installing you can use format factory to restore the videos to wmv and regular
size and quality it multithreads so the videos restore fast

initial size 6.70
repack size 2.56 gb
