game37.arc and game38.arc aren't useless completely.

game37.arc = the first bink video stream is a credits video file and the rest are skills tree videos used inside the game.

game38.arc = the first bink video stream is used by the game while the rest are unused.

Big Thanks DiCaPrIo, the c256m setting worked !!!

Title:           Dishonored 2
Version:         v1.77.5.0 (incl. all dlcs)

PC:              4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz) + 8GB Ram + SSD

Ripped Files:    All foreign languages

Original Size:   53.6 GB
Compressed Size: 22.5 GB

Mask Method:     no compression on *.pck files
                 binkpack on *.bk2 files
                 pzlib:max:c256m+srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 on rest of files
                
Compress Time:   16 hours 15 minutes (58538.66 sec)
Install Time:    13 minutes

CRC Checked:     Yes

Note:
Important to set up c256m on ztool or it will not work, the compression time is
slow because it takes over 9 hours only with ztool.

Also removing the credits.bik will give you 700mb better output if you wish.

I did another little test with xtool setting up same chunksize and using latest zlib version from official page. Seems the ratio is a little bit better but is also much more faster. Have to try it with the full game, maybe in 1 week or 2.

@JustFun, if you wish you can delete my previous method or leave it but this is almost better except for the compression time.

Trying with XTool now and seems to get very slow at 2.4% (it's now on 3.2% and 4 hours gone into the land). Something is wrong with the streams of this game i guess.

PS: My installation is only 42.3GB with only 1 language.
