Thanks for the test, I can back you up here that XTool gives better ratio + speed boost than oo2reck (only minor though).

well..

Compressed 1 file, 5,944,563,799 => 4,211,654,134 bytes. Ratio 70.85%
Compression time: cpu 20.86 sec/real 6223.63 sec = 0%. Speed 0.96 mB/s
All OK

To be honest, there is no point in repacking at all. The difference is 1.5 GB and the installation takes almost 10 minutes. Such a pleasure

• *.pak
  

  xtool:mzlib+kraken + srep + lolz

• *.bk2
  

  srep+LZMA2

• Everything else:
  

  srep+razor

Bink videos have KB2n header so no BPK support here.

6.5GB ----> 4.8GB

Encrypted audio and unencrypted videos. Basically you can't do anything good with those files. And even if decryption would be possible - most probably it's ogg vorbis inside.

If you remove the first 56 bytes of any of the video files, you can view them in any media player. You can then determine which videos are animation tests and are completely unused by the game.
