1. Tbh you have already answered your own question.

2. We don't know. One have to see the full error log

3. MTX, PMT, STDIO (will be replaced by this in next DSG version), STD = default/standard version of RAZOR compressor.

Any ETA on the next version of DSG?

I need some help. Let's say I have the original game in ISO format. I install it in a folder on my desktop, and now I have all the game files. Then I update those files so the game is fully up to date. After that, I repack everything using DiskSpan GUI, compile an installer, and create a new ISO with DiskSpan GUI. Would that work, or not?

I've been lurking here for quite some time now but there are still some questions I haven't managed to find answers to so I think it's time I ask away.

When does it make sense to use multiple compressions? Are there any known file type and/or compression combinations which lead to better ratios (i.e. X files compressed with algorithm Y can be then further compressed with algorithm Z)? Or is it always a trial and error matter?

Are there any tools for finding the best compression algorithm for unknown file types?

You can use xtoolui for this purpose with "skip verifiation" option enabled. Then go through all codecs. Second step is to find out exact settings and library used for the method if you found something.
