*If you all are wondering what I mean by '#-folder' in my compression methods, i will let you all in on a little secret. If you're dealing with
a game with lots of small individual files and/or file types, such as .mov, .bik. mp4, in terms of movies, and files like .cpi from Far Cry, it is a lot more time
effecient to split the game install folder up into individual folders. Like with the game Echo for example, I put all the highly compressable files in one folder and the .mp4 cutscene
videos in a seperate folder. that way when compression time comes around, i can compress the high comp ratio files with one particular compressor and then just do a bare minimum compression on the movie files. your repack results may vary from file type to file type. just thought i'd clear this up and give a bit of insight on how i do things.*
