2.) before ,with original installer the game was not giving this error but now it gives in xp. [i have installed the game in 7 and its working there but not on xp].

well thats my problem..........

Also one more thing.- Do i have to keep those leftover files like compress.bat,levels1,levels2,etc. the files outside Disks 1,2,3,4 folders.

You should ask this to peterf himself because CI you used belongs to him

AFAIK, you can't edit current installation files to add DX.

You need cab for backgrounds. You can do internal setup and merge cab and exe tho.

hi guys i 'm trying to do Command And Conquer Red Alert 3-old game i know but very good one- but i'm stuck with movies folder with 3.78 gb of .vb6 files this is the codes i have tried

-mprecomp:t-nfj:zl78,99:d0+srep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m: fb128:mc1000:lc8

and i tried this too

-msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

and i have tried to do the job with freearc but no good i only managed to compress the rest of the game files from 3.78 gb to 1.92

any ideas?!!!

thanks

All video formats use compression so movies are poorly compressed with archivers. Only way to shrink their size is to recompress them. vb6 is some mp4 container so it'll be quite complicated.

i see no point.

If someone want a small installer can get it by simply clicking compact button and i want to knew

I am trying to add the video for my duke nukem to my custom installer, yet no matter what I try it simply will not work.

I Downloaded it from youtube in mp4 format, then used any video converter to convert it to avi format, and finally renamed it to "Video" and then put it in the backgrounds folder.

Is there something I am missing?

You have to use following settings for yener's CI:

[inovateqsa]

Yeah, I've already seen those settings and tried them.

Any video converter doesn't have the exact setting though, so I get them as close as possible.
The only differences are in "Video Bit Rate" - which is 2000kbs, and "Audio Bitrate" - which is 192kbs.
The formats (Xvid, Mp3, Avi etc.), and the audio sample rate are all exactly the same.

Will I have to use that specific converter?
And if so - what is it's name?

the app for video conversions --> [ SUPER 2012 build 53 ]

make sure you choose MEncoder and did you tried an other installer with video? does it show there on your system?

[inovateqsa]

Yeah, I also have sleeping dogs and I used a ready made conversion from this site for that one.

The video on it plays fine.

I will try with the Super 2012 converter instead. It is probably my video converter that is the problem, it does not have any option similar to MEncoder.

[inovateqsa]

Nope, no matter how hard I try it simply refuses to display the Video.

I use Keepvid.com to download the trailer in 720p Mp4, then use Super 2012 to convert it, then rename it to "Video", and finally put it in the setup.cab's "background" folder. It just refuses to play.

Pictures work fine.

These are the settings I am using:

I am using CI 8.5.6.9.

Does anyone have any clue on what the problem could be?

Thanks.

In fact, i just tried one of my with-video conversion and it's not working either, that's interesting, yep video function is not working anymore.
