Tried this numerous options and all same thing goes to over 90 hours to do even though it gets to 90% done with about 30 mins left then time just shoots up and get nothing so given up with this.

Took game of and installed on different drive and now got working and down to around 2 hours doing at min so lets see how goes and not shoot up to over 90 hours conversion again.

There is a folder called FMOD
With some pre-processing/post-processing of theses files, you can go down to 24.5GB

Then in my installer after decompress files, a batch file rebuild *.bank files.
Game is 100%CRC identical to orginal

The process is to use quickbsm to extract FSB files , then convert to OGG.
Then compress with oggre

During install, I do the opposite : oggre to ogg, ogg to fsb , fsb to bank
Install takes 6 minutes + 4 minutes for rebuild.

It's more or less what fitgirl do in some release.
I'm not enough skilled to to this quickly/cleanly , I'm still exploring/learning
