BSAopt is not suitable for repacking since every time you make an archive with it, the CRC is different.

I'm not up to scratch with BSA format, but I don't think the media files are compressed. Beyond that, I believe LZ4 compression is used.

confirmed, they are not compressed. I forgot about the CRC. Does - skyrim(and/or bethesda) make use of that.
