Hi, thanks for the conversion but I think some user can do better than simple split in 10-20-30 DVD5, expecially for this big game.

For example, in order to reduce the number of DVD, a converter can be try to delete multiplayer files, foreign languages files, re-compress video for gain a lot of GB, use a strong compression, use DVD9. With some of these things I think this game of 45 gb can be fit in 3 or 4 DVD9, a more "human" number of disc instead 10 DVD5

first off DVD9 are not cheap everywhere in the world, trying to delete MP files, extra languages etc some games its possible, but not all. As far as recompress video or stronger compression, not worth the time. I tried with one set of files for a single dvd & using precomp it ran for almost 18HRs one that one set
in the end it only reduced by few hundred MB so wasn't worth the time. Who wants to install a game that takes 3-4 hours to install

You want DVD9 then take dvd5 lists and split them up so then everything fits on DVD9.

I agree with you. I only wanted to tell that in the last conversion often I view only a splitting in a lot of DVDs. In past, some user researchead the maximum gain of space, compatible with all of these things that you mentioned (conversion time versus space gained, etc). Instead, in these last conversions I only view a split (in this case 45 gb game, 10 DVDs 4,5 gb: it's simple a split).
I thank a lot the users that spent their time FOR FREE to make this conversion...but I think in some case better conversion with a little more work it can be possibile. Unfortunately, I have the willpower but don't have the knwoledges for do the conversion on my own and for the comunity

As has been discussed, I tried for several times to improve the conversion, putting in 4 DVD9 and 2 DVD 5 , but without success in compressing the last 2 .cabs was not good enough to make them fit and DVD9. I used this compression on all files.
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 [email protected] -dp"%choice%" .\WNO_1\%arc%
But I do not know how to compress better, is there any command to compress even more? use this command: arc a -ep1 -r -w.\-msrep:L64+lzma:a1:mfbt4:fb128:MC1000:LC8 [email protected] -dp"%choice%" .\WNO_2\%arc% does not extract the installer exits with an error. besides compress slightly.
