sometimes i have to open the video up and correct particles get rid of blotches etc...

i don't do like certain repack groups do and do it just to shrink it down
if i think the video is fine i won't touch it....lol

Can you upload encoded game videos.

Unfortunatelly we have no public tool for this

i have heard that putting something like precompmt at the end of the compression is supposed to have some sort of effect

hmmm there are a few games i have were i had to decrypt the files to make them work with zlib
i am debating wether or not to post them

wich i openly say that i did just like i tell when i remove certain things like language files

you know what you are right, sorry my bad but for Rivals which I think you compressed from blackbox repack. They did rip videos and mentioned that and I want you to do the same thing. The real size after using plz4+srep+lzma is 6.4gb with only 400 mb difference to srep+lzma 6.8gb.

Bioshock Remastered
bpk on bink videos
srep+lzma or lolz on rest all files
Game size will be around 5 to 9 gb depending on how much content you rip
Important Note: Don't rip anything else except localization and video files as this game is already buggy and doing anything will make it crash.

ok thank you for pointing this game out... i did not have the version of it i thought i had i did indeed rip language files it totally slipped my mind
but i did nothing to the video i do not know how to get into those files to even alter them i did a side by side comparison to a newer version of the game...
an update is in order after i repack this newer version

i will still include my plz4 settings the exact dll and ztools i use and the exact srep in this message

i do not use cls lolz i use lolz normally

and the settings i like to use on this srep suck up over 5 gigs of ram just a heads up

and yes it does have training videos i hate them just want to race lol
