Notes:
Repack uses XTool library by Razor12911

methods on both games
removed non english content
used format factory to converted wmv to mkv under low settings and bitrate
compression seperate
srep+lolz

Mega Man X Legacy Collection
initial size 6.82 gb
repack size 1.08 gb

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2
initial size 9.30 gb
repack size 2.10 gb

both games combined
initial size 16.1 gb
repack size 3.18 gb

after installing you can use format factory to convert mkv back to wmv under its original size and quality it should go pretty fast due to the multithreading then you can delete the mkv after finished

Better compression switches from LOLZ compression compare, than ones: -dt1 -dtp1 -dtb1 -dto1 -dtm1 -dtw1 -dtd1 -mtt1 -mt8 -d128m -fba4096 -mc1023 ???

This ttXX switches usage? Higher tt values = better compression rate or not? (tt16/32/64, etc.. Default: tt4/8) Or data type different? bc/blr/bm and pc switches, reasonable effect to better compression rate? No experience of this?
