 02:06:12 - Overall input size: 95.95 GB
 02:06:12 - Overall output size: 77.97 GB (Ratio 81.26%)
 02:06:12 - Overall conversion time: 08:27:33

Data1a contents:
*.PFC, *.XXX

Data1b contents:
all files, excluding *.PFC, *.XXX, *.scx

Data1c contents:
*.scx

Note: Saved additional 5GB (101GB -> 96GB) with riped languages out of mp4 movie files. Use ffmpeg with batch like this (rename .scx extension to .mp4 before using ffmpeg):

ffmpeg -i "D:\MK11\Movies\BAR_Ending.mp4" -map 0:0 -map 0:1 -acodec copy -vcodec copy "D:\MK11\Movies\Processed\BAR_Ending.mp4" 

0:0 = Video stream
0:1 = English
0:2 = French
0:3 = German
0:4 = Italian
0:5 = Portuguese Brazil
0:6 = Spanish Mexico

I use this one:

UltraARC 2900 R7 FULL (DISK SPAN R3) [2020-06-11].7z in Light Installer Script (LIS) post, I believe is no outdated

Change both -ulv and Input Output to InFile OutFile and nothing, gonna try with the UltraArc in _Tools (2020-07-18) in [CIUv3] post

[lomesmo]

Oh many thanks now it works, this was the key change $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

[Masquerade]

You do not need the - in uelr

my packcmd:

[External compressor:uelr]
header = 0
packcmd = {compressor} uv $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
