Really quick question, whats the best algo (in terms of smallest final size) to use for compressing .pkz files? Not sure where else to ask.

XTool, Precomp, or any ZLIB precompressor?

Start Size: 51GB

• *.bff

  bdt+xtool_kraken+srep+lolz

• Bink videos:

  bpk

• Everything else:

  srep+razorx

Final Size: 23.4GB

Notes:

• Using Project CARS 2 oodlerec build will of course be much smaller, but it takes long time... xtool is so much faster at the expense of packed size.
