The Data1.bin contains media.upak and its size is shown above

The command line is correct!

Disc contents:

The installer expects to find the Datax.bin archives in the root of the disc, if it doesn't find them a disk prompt is shown with disk number and archive name.

Ok, Conversion works. Final Size 4,23 GB. If its too big, after compress, look that only one speech is Installed.

The patch adds a dlc contents and its size is around 476 mb,
i didn't test it yet , you re-make conversion and then let me known if it fits.

If it doesn't fit for few mb a biks re-sampling needed

[mikey26]

gonna have to resample some biks even with trying to compress the video folder with freearc with 2gb compress still around 10mb to big and also downsize the directx folder with slim version of directx

[an_ultim]

Tried with the new Update 2 [3Gb] of Darksiders2. The final size is 4.4 GB with vids 100%

[mikey26]

try a slim version of directx also try recompress data3.bin with 1gb compression with freearc that what i did and 4.36gb perfect fit on dvd5

[an_ultim]

@mikey26 im new at this so can u give me the command for the recompression or do i have to reduce the bik file?

Command line for Data3.bin (replace it in Compress.bat):

arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -msrep+lzma:max:1gb -dp"%choice1%\media" -x@Ex_v_upak.lst .\Darksiders2\%arc%

Edit1:

If Data1,Data2, Data4 archives already exist this batch (Compress.bat) will re-create only Data3:

echo off
:start
cls
set choice1=
set arc=
set retry=
echo.
set /p choice1=Please type game folder path (e.g. c:\Program Files\Darksiders2):
if "%choice1%"=="" goto start
echo.
echo Creating archive files, please wait...
echo.
:Data1
set arc=Data1.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto Data2
arc a -ep -w.\ .\Darksiders2\%arc% -mprecomp:t-nfj:zl99:d1+srep+lzma:max:1gb "%choice1%\media\media.upak"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:Data2
set arc=Data2.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto Data3
arc a -ep -w.\ -mprecomp:t-nfj:zl99:d0+srep+lzma:max:1gb -dp"%choice1%\media" .\Darksiders2\%arc% @upak.lst
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:Data3
set arc=Data3.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto Data4
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -msrep+lzma:max:1gb -dp"%choice1%\media" -x@Ex_v_upak.lst .\Darksiders2\%arc% 
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:Data4
set arc=Data4.bin
if exist .\Darksiders2\%arc% goto end
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -mprecomp:t-nfj:zl78,99:d0+srep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 -dp"%choice1%" -x@Ex_m.lst .\Darksiders2\%arc%
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
:end
echo.All done.
pause
goto EOF
:arcfail
echo.
echo.WARNING: FreeArc returns an error in archive %arc%! 
set /p retry=Do you wish to retry [Y/N]:
if /I "%retry%"=="Y" goto %arc:~0,5% 
pause
:EOF

Note: if just updated to patch 2, you must re-create all archives not only Data3.bin

dont recompress the bik files, take a look at compress.bat file & notice the commands for bin1 & bin2 ( max:1gb ) add that to line for bin3 and comment out other lines for 1,2,4 bin files & let it recompress just that 1 file. should then fit better...
