Spent ages patching videos out of Cyberpunk 2077 just for bpk to do that endless extraction thing.

What a waste of time

Managed to get it to 36.9GB by patched out videos but since bpk does that thing you can only use srep leading to a 37.5GB repack (xtool + srep + lolz).

For the audio packs, xtool+srep+lzma2 (lolz is not worth it)

I am going to post my data sheet, here's all the videos with their decimal locations from the game ranging from largest size to smallest size (40mb) - all smaller ones were ignored.

It is the definition of the size of the slices of the diskspan of 4.25GB for the first disc and 4.32GB for the other discs (Configuration for DVD5 media).
P.S: If you use DiskSpan_GUI this is done automatically (value in bytes) based on the options on the CONFIG page of DiskSpan_GUI and selected tab of media type when making the compression.
Then the method adapted for DiskSpan_GUI can be used in this way:

xtool_cp2077+srep_new:m3f:l512:m512+4x4:lzma:a1:mfbt4:32m:fb273:mc10000:lc8

P.S: The chunk size on DiskSpan_GUI is set to "-c32mb", but if you want, just edit the "DiskSpan_x64.ini" file in the "Resources" folder on DiskSpan_GUI and change to "-c128mb" in section to "xtool_cp2077" method so that the method is exactly the same as the method informed by the user (I don't know if you will a lot of difference thid change)
