*.arch06 => oodle(ZTool)+srep+lzma
*.vib => m0
all other files => srep+lzma

Note: *.vib files are bk2 files, but some files give unpack error if you use BPK on them (I wasn't in the mood to test file by file and sort out the faulty ones). If you do this you could save about ~2GB for sure.

92.8GB => 53.8GB

Compression used: bpk+oo2reck+srep:m3f+4x4:lzma

PS: Make sure to not compress 72 bytes videos with bpk, they will give crc error (exclude them).
