Need help with Binkpack
 

Can anybody help me how to compress Bink videos with binkpack (by Profrager) so that I can unpack them later using Inno setup script. I tried including cls-bpk.dll but that isn't extracting. I compressed the file using bpk+Srep method as it worked best for me. Plz share the compression and decompression method plz

use to compress bink_pack.exe & cls-bpk.dll in same where,

use to decompress bink_unpack.exe & cls-bpk_u.dll in same where


arc.ini

[External compressor:bpk]
header = 0
packcmd = bink_pack.exe $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = bink_unpack.exe $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

I got that brother, but I already tried it. Its showing unarc.DLL error while extracting. I just wanna know where I'm wrong, Compression or decompression?

rename cls-bpk_u.dll to cls-bpk.dll and copy to the folder where arc.exe located.

cls-bpk_u.dll unpacks while cls-bpk.dll packs the bink files.
only the dll required for upack.

here's the error
Unarc.DLL (something in Russian means I f**l<ed up) -2
Unsupported compression method
Bpk+srep+lzma:723745b:normal:bt4:128:mc1000:lc8

My compression method must have issue I think, plz need help here

if you have BPK section in isdone-arc.ini ,then remove it !
it will be fine.
as previously said ,ONLY the DLL required.

Put pack and unpack both DLL and CLS in compress folder, then renamed cls-bpk_u.DLL to cls-bpk.dll and included in script, then added the above code provided by hasandg34 in arc.ini in both compressor and script and its done. Thanks hasandg34 and shazzia, you guys are the best

I am getting error

Assassins Creed Liberation Game Crashing after using encoded .bik files, Do you know anything about that

I just encoded some intro .bik files and packed them after that installed the game> now opening the game starting for first time with no saves suddenly game crashing "unfortunately aclhd3.exe has stopped working"

Game is working if i don't encode the .bik files

Don't encode them it won't make a difference in the size
And also if you have to you should make sure they are CRC matched
that seems to be the problem a crc mismatch

file size has decreased when i encoded them so the encoding is working fine
i tested the files and played them with rad video tool also with vlc player and its working but when i try to run the new save game it crashes

does the game take bink1 or bink2?
if it takes bink2 and you encode to bink1 (wich is what rad does by default) without realizing it
it most definately will crash

As far as i've tested it works for any bink 1 files but for also for few bink 2 files. If you really want it that bad you can convert bink 2 file to bink 1 and then rename its extention from .bik to .bk2 and it will work. Also Binkpack can scan and compress videos that are in a single file like videos.dat etc. only if used with freearc.

for bink2 in a batch process
i always take the batch and put it into a notepad
click edit then click replace put bik on the find what and type in bk2
on replace with then click replace all paste it back in the batch and then they all re encode as bink2
beats doing them one at a time lol
