Hello Everyone, A long time ago (In a Galaxy Far, Far Away ), Back in November 2014 I started out doing my own conversions with a simple batch script based on Fabioddq's original script. Over time I improved it and added some functions, in 2015 that script became something more, a full blown tool for conversion compression, it was originally released on another (no longer active) website I was a member of on January 19th 2016. Back in July of 2016 I stopped working on the tool as it was pretty stable and I had other (personal) things to deal with, About 3 years since the beginning and almost 1.5 years after I took that break, I finally started working on the script which was now known as Ultimate Conversion Compressor (UCC). The first version of UCC released here on FileForums was v4.1.2.1 which wasn't a big updated but enough for me to put it out there. Since then, UCC have seen quite a few updates, big and small and I have no intention of abandoning it in the foreseeable future. That said, the current version as for the time of these lines (v4.1.3.2) is planned to be the last big updated until I can convert the script to a much better, more versatile, more secure scripting language, UCC will still get bug fixes when needed, possibly even compressor updates (to keep it relevant) but not much more. Anyway, let's get on with it... I am proud to present: The Ultimate Conversion Compressor (UCC) Ultimate Conversion Compressor V4.1.3.2 Update 3.0 - Out Now!!! Current Version: 4.1.3.2 Latest Build Version: Update 3.0 Hotfix 1 Scripting Language: Windows Batch Script Beta Testers 4.1.2 Branch: ahmetbtmn, her1620 (Gatosky1620), kassane Beta Testers 4.1.3 Branch: EzzEldin16, KaktoR (v.4.1.3.1 - Records.ini Testing), pakrat2k2 (v4.1.3.2 - Precomp Fixes) Original Release Date: January 19th, 2016 Latest Version Release Date: May 24th, 2018 Official Facebook Page: Click Here I hope you find this compression script/tool useful, I know I don't use anything else. The download link at the end of this post is a RAR 5 archive, so you'll need WinRar 5 or above to extract it, it includes all you need for the script to work, as well as a PDF format tutorial to learn how to use the script (it's not hard at all). This script is by far the most extensive & ambitious script/project I've ever done, the scope of the code is far beyond anything I've done before, that's why I didn't release it without beta testing it as thoroughly as possible. You can also download & read the tutorials for using UCC v4.1.3 series independently or use the version of the tutorial on the UCC Wiki (links at the bottom) You can also find a few screenshots at the bottom of this post, please be advised, final release may vary a little from the screenshots a little. Features List:
Here's the complete changelog up to the current 4.1.3.2 Update 3.0 version: UCC v4.1.3.2 Update 3.0 Hotfix 1 Quote:

Future Plans:
Please read the tutorial to understand all the features of UCC. Please be advised: For CIUv2 to unpack archives created with the UCC included compressors you may need an updated arc.ini file for CIUv2 (depends on the compressor & CIUv2 version you use). FAQ: Q: What should I put in the Discs# variable in settings.ini if I don't know how many discs the conversion will be? A: Although the UCC Tutorial specifiy that the Discs# variable is numeric (meaning numbers only) it isn't exactly accurate, the variable is used for conversion folder naming and some on screen display during the script, so you can either put any number in there and change it once you finish compression and know the correct number or just input a placeholder like a hashtag sign (#), you can even input multiple of these signs (##). UPDATE: As of version 4.1.3.2 Hotfix you can leave it blank and UCC will fill it automatically with the hashtag sign (#) Q: Can you add support for compressor *input compressor name here* ? A: Maybe, I'm willing to give it a try, just let me know the name of the compressor and where to get it and I'll look into it. Q: Can I add new compressors to UCC myself if I wanted to? A: No, I'm afraid not, UCC keeps it's included files compressed within the executable and only extract them temporarily during operation, even if you were to copy the file elsewhere and edit them you couldn't re-pack them into the Converter.exe file and UCC cannot read them from anywhere but the temporary folder it uses. UPDATE: As of version 4.1.3.2 Update 2.0 a new feature was added to allow adding & updating compressors, see the new tutorial pdf file or the wiki for details. Q: Can you make a video tutorial? A: Sorry, but no. I'm afraid I don't know how, nor do I have the needed tools to make an effective video tutorial, you'll have to use the WiKi or PDF tutorial for now. I do however welcome anyone who uses UCC to make a video tutorial based on the written ones, if you do make one, please send me a link to the final product so I could add it to the OP and the UCC WiKi. Q: I get an error at the very beginning of the compression, why? A: If you are using V4.1.3 or V4.1.3.1, there is a bug that slipped through the beta tests that caused the described problem when selecting an output folder instead of clicking cancel to use the default one, Please download & use UCC V4.1.3.1 Hotfix or newer to solve the issue. Q: I Keep getting an error while compressing files with Precomp, can you help? A: Unfortunatelly in UCC versions older than 4.1.3.2 Precomp versions 0.4.3-0.4.6 are broken, you can still use older versions of precomp without a problem. Q: I think I did everything correctly but the Setup.exe & Setup.ico files are not moved to conversion folder, why? A: Assuming they are indeed in the [Setup] sub-folder (otherwise you'd have gotten an error), you must have a mistake in your Settings.ini file, some variables in Settings.ini are used for folder naming and if they are left blank could cause problems with UCC copy commands. Some of these variables are as follows: Discs#, DiscType, MediaPrefix A Few Screenshots: (Updated for UCC v4.1.3.2, The Screens below are taken from an early RC version of UCC v4.1.3.2) Download The latest version of UCC is attached to this post, as well as the PDF Tutorial. You can find downloads of previous versions on my MEGA cloud at the following link: UCC Previous Versions Instructions As I said, I attached the Tutorial in PDF format (Rar Archived), that said, I highly recommend using the UCC Wiki in the link bellow, it will be updated more frequently and I think is written better.

IMPORTANT: I've added a new DISCLAIMER section to the OP, it's nothing big but I ask that you please read it!!!
I'm sorry I had to resort to this, I didn't expect it nor wanted it but some people have no limits and a whole lot of audacity. I recently discovered another thread on this forum where a user somehow got his hands on my source code for V4.1.2 of UCC (that was back in September 2016 apparently) and posted it without permission, hell, without even asking for permission, furthermore said user edited the script, removed all none essential code parts (Author notes) and replaced all names and credits (Including my own) with his name. Said user didn't even make a good effort to hide the theft, he included in that thread a screenshot of UCC I took that clearly shows my name. I of course reported it and the thread was removed to my request, but I need to take steps to hopefully prevent it from happening again. That said, Since it's a free tool written in batch language I don't have much in the way of legal actions (if at all), I have to count on people good grace to read and follow my terms. I hope you understand. Please Note: This have no effect whatsoever on v4.1.3.2 of UCC or any future versions, I do not intend to abandon UCC in the foreseeable future, especially not because of a single rotten apple.

I'm working on a few new features for Ultimate Conversion Compressor (UCC), as follows:
More Info: Error.Log As described above, whenever an error occur during compression UCC will output the entire original error message generated by the compressor to a text file called Error.log, this should make it easy to troubleshoot problems. When compression ends without any errors the empty Error.log file will be removed. This is actually an evolution of the previously mentioned feature I posted about in my last post in this thread (see here). Diskspan Records.ini A new option in Settings.ini called SpanRecords is added, when enabled (set to "y"), UCC will create a simple Records.ini file for installation of CLS-Diskspan archives. This is required for use with CIU v2.0.3.9 U11 or newer. It also helps in occasions where CIUv2.0.5g causes Setup.tmp errors on Installation Cancel & Finish, if this is the case, use the option to generate the Records.ini file and use it instead of the [ExtractSettings] section of CIUv2 Setup.ini file. CIU v2.0.3.9 Records.ini A new option in Settings.ini called DatanRecords is added, when enabled (set to "y"), UCC will generate Records.ini file to be used with CIU v2.0.3.9 Setups. The file will be created in the first disk folder after the first archive is created and will update with additional records after each additional archive is created. This is only needed if the Setup you created was designed using CIU v2.0.3.9, make sure to disable the option if it wasn't created with CIU v2.0.3.9. Please Note: All of the above features are still being worked on & tested, if you want to help test them please send me a PM. Have a nice day

Update regarding the next UCC update (titled Update 3.0)
If you are able to help with logging winrar errors to file than please let me know. Also would like your input on that last point, about the compressors. Thanks and have a nice day/night

I know and I said I'll consider it, I have, right now, due to new compressors releases (e.g xtool) and lack of time or will to test them, I'm starting to think it's the right time to make that change.
Also, it appears that the UCC rar archive is going to be smaller this way. Not to mention the executable file. Still, I'd like to get more feedback on this before making my decision.

OK, don't know what happen to my latest post, it disappeared...
Anyway, I've fixed the RAR Error logging problem with a workaround, below is the full list of current (and possibly final) changes for UCC v4.1.3.2 Update 3.0:
Known Issues
Also, thinking & working on trying to make the UCC script a Batch/VBS hybrid, which will mean it will hopefully have a simple message box based GUI added to it, but that's still a big maybe as it is a huge undertaking so it'll probably won't be in Update 3.0, also, if it does happen, I'm gonna try and change the main archive programs (FreeArc, 7Zip, WinRAR) to use the GUI version of their executable files to avoid command line windows and assure progress is shown.

Maybe there was a connection error, or maybe I accidentally closed the browser tab without submitting (after preview), who knows, no big deal.
