Hello there, I am currently looking to compress the game "Astroneer". I just wish to see how small I can compress the game.

It is an Unreal Engine game, so I used Masquerade's guidance from the last page for Drug Dealer Simulator however I am wondering if there's any better compression method for mp4 video files? It seems that srep+lolz do not compress these files very well.

This forum has helped me a lot since my first post. Thank you in advance.

It's better to Let alone those.... mp4 file.... just put em with whatever files your compressing with srep+lolz

Also you can reduce them in size by degrading their quality.... Like degrading to 720p from 1080p or higher .And you don't want that right?...

till now I have found no other tool to integrate with mp4 files without degrading their quality

You can use "uelr" to tfc files for precompressing.

arc.ini file:

[External compressor:uelr]
header     = 0
default    = -uv
packcmd    = "uelr_x86" {option} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd  = "uelr_x86" r <stdin> <stdout>

Then srep+lolz.

For mp4 files you can create a batch script and re-encode them with FFmpeg.
