It is an Unreal Engine game, so I used Masquerade's guidance from the last page for Drug Dealer Simulator however I am wondering if there's any better compression method for mp4 video files? It seems that srep+lolz do not compress these files very well.

This forum has helped me a lot since my first post. Thank you in advance.

You can use "uelr" to tfc files for precompressing.

arc.ini file:

[External compressor:uelr]
header     = 0
default    = -uv
packcmd    = "uelr_x86" {option} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd  = "uelr_x86" r <stdin> <stdout>

Then srep+lolz.

For mp4 files you can create a batch script and re-encode them with FFmpeg.
