Unfortunatelly my knowledges aren't too good to do a complete installer with Inno, i just can use bat script!

1) I encoded all .WIP sounds (\root-installation-folder\audio\dictionaries\<all-subfolders>) to .ogg with OggEnc and raw parameter.
Dictionaries folder before (with only original WIP files): ~2,94GB
Dictionaries folder after (with only encoded OGG files): ~198MB


2) Compressed with FreeArc all files and folders in the game's installation folder except "video" folder.

3) Final size of the .ARC file is ~2,73GB (uncompressed are ~6,7GB)

4) .ARC file and video folders (without any resemapling): ~4,06GB, and it's all you need!

With an E8400 (dual core) it took like ~15 minutes for the WIP-to-OGG, ~50 minutes for the arc.

For the extraction you can use OggDec (v1.0.1) for the OGG-to-WIP and it's very quick, about 1 minute.

For the language and installation folder you can use a reg file, just add to registry something like:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Codemasters\F1 2011]
"PATH_APPLICATION"="<your-game's-installation-folder-path>"
"LANGUAGE"="1040"
"locale"="1040"

The 1040 in my case is italian language and you can see them by searching, on google, "Windows Locale Codes".

@peterf1999: What do you think man?

You come up with very unique ways of completing conversions, that DONT take hours of time to complete. Nice job, now to implement the suggestions into INNO and will be perfect

i have a question, the final size of sound file are very small rather than the original size; there are a significative loss of audio quality, for example audio effect of the car and the enviroment?

Nothing
Once decoded the sizes of the files will be the same of the original without any loss of audio quality.
I'm playing with the game installed in this way (i made a conversion 1xDVD5 for me) and I don't hear any difference
