It's a Unity engine based game, decompress bundle with UBT or XTool Unity?

UBT did not work, it will not compress with lz4 (same size as decompressed file).

Good morning! I'm compressing "Alan Wake" and i'd like to know which is the best compression method for .avi and .wmv files. As far as I know, MSC doesn't compress too much. Thank you in advance!

Best you can do is recode them at a slightly lower bit rate, I've only ever repacked the original two titles, which both used BInk1 videos, if the new ones are using H.265 for the ".avi" files you can probably get some pretty decent lossy gains, as for the WMV9s recoding them can be a bit hit or miss, you can usually get away with 5000kbps AVB, really depends on the source though, matter of fact is lossy is your only route for any significant gains.

Marvel's Spider-Man Remastered, info:

These files are packed inside the game file resources.

Structure is similar to Sunset Overdrive, another Insomniac game.

Tried edge_of_nowhere.bms, didn't work. In some files, BPK failed during compression.

Audio have .bnk [BKHD], .wem [RIFF]

Video have .bk2 with KB2j magic [4B 42 32 6A] size info at 0x4, data at 0x8, width at 0x14, heigh at 0x18. Plenty of resolutions like FHD, QHD, and 4K.

dag, and toc have some zlib

Most extensionless files have LZ4, use plugin.

0x0 first with KB2j magic, then 0x4 size in decimal, 0x8 rest of data.

Spider-Man Remastered - decompression fails (archive data corrupted). Compression method:

Code:
xtool:spidey+srep+lolz

[External compressor:xtool]
header    = 0
packcmd   = xtool2020\xtool.exe precomp { -moption} -c32mb -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool2020\xtool.exe decode -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:srep]
header = 0
packcmd = srep -m3f -a16 {options} InFile OutFile
datafile = InFile
packedfile = OutFile
unpackcmd = srep -d -mem2048mb - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:lolz]
header = 0
packcmd = lolz_x64.exe -mtt1 -mt6 -ldmf0 -d128m {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = lolz_x64.exe $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
using latest xtool and spidey.dll+liblz4.dll that comes with plugin.

files while decompressing:

xtool.exe
spidey.dll
liblz4.dll
hif2raw_dll.dll
raw2hif_dll.dll

cls-lolz.dll
cls-lolz_x64.exe
cls-srep.dll
cls-srep_x64.exe

HunterEmrah: Unpacking error message? Used SREP versions from decompress? Its probably SREP error. Trying test to replace use one srep.exe file to older v3.2/3.92 or use ProFrager's cls-srep v0.3.3 or try modify srep decompression rows:

Code:
"srep" -d -ia- <stdin> <stdout>
Use these files from old ProFrager's SREP decomp methods: cls-srep.dll only, remove cls-srep*.exe and srep.exe files.

Use native srep.exe file from during decompression: remove all cls-srep*.dll/exe files!

Testing try again.
