Driver: San Francisco DVD9 to 2DVD5

[termic]

Can anyone post a tutorial?

[Onizuka87k]

For 1xDVD5 i think the only way to do it is resampling some bik video files and just leave only one language.

My test:
- one language
- compress with freearc (-mx -ld800) the game's installation folder without "Common" subfolder (in this folder there are the bik videos) and i got 1,92GB from 3,37GB.
- "Common" folder is about 2,66GB

The sum is about 4,6GB so you need to recover at least 300MB with the bik resampling (using this method).

So.. we have to wait peterf1999, maybe he knows a different way, maybe more easier!

I hope peter dont use recompress

I changed some zip files Volume and Media Names to Disk2 but installer stucks at my changed lines and can't identify disk2. Hope someone figure out how to split 2DVD.

The proper way is the same, no need to re-encode all biks , take a look below:

@peterf1999:
Man you rock, no other words to say!
But.. did you use precomp/srep? How the hell you got ~3,4GB without resampling bik files?

Het peterf1999. I've got a problem with your conversion. When the game (from your conversion) is installing, the ARC isn't unpacking. The installer copies the Common folder and installs Ubisoft Game Launcher and then everything disappears and I'm back to desktop. I've done everything step-by-step. I add that I've deleted everything in the Locale folder instead of Polish folder before compression.

Did you move DSF.arc to ‘DSF_DVD5′ folder?

Your archive is damaged? check it!

Did you created a normal archive (.arc extension), and not sfx archive (.exe extension)?

1. Yes, I Have.
2. I don't know how to do is, but it doesn't look damaged.
3. I've created a ARC archive (not EXE).

P.S. Tried on a clean installation and on 1.03 update. The same thing occurs.
P.S. 2: The size is correct - 4.26 GB.
