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
