Yep, you must use unicode version.
Video loop? Oh yes, because of CI 8.3.5.1. In the latest version doesn't happen anymore. I will update when possible.
If wish delete video, open Setup.cab with Winrar and delete Video.avi from Background folder. So you see only images.

Hail!

@Fabioddq I'm trying to make your conversion 2xdvd5 to 1xdvd5 with freearc by using a compress.bat file or something like this, can you help me with the compression level script. I was thinking creating one like your Hitman Absolutin version, with the DATA.list type. I don't know if I was clear enough.(sorry for bad english)

[Fabioddq]

I've tested it and is not possible to fit on 1xDVD5. However, I have not tested with precomp. It takes a long time to compress and precomp always fails with very large files.

If you wish try even yet with srep use this: -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

Yep, you can use the same script of Hitman. Change files in Data.lst's, folder name, etc...

use precomp 038. It takes long when compressing large files such as 15gb and above. It didn't fail on pes.(5.68g-9.90gb)

[BAMsE]

Nope, precomp does nothing with this game - I've tried it long time ago. The only way to slim it to 4.3GB is unpacking its compresed containers, removing unnecessary video (trailer of another game) and precomping uncompressed files. But there is a problem - game won't work without its containers, even if all files from them are unpacked and placed correctly. Unfortunately there is no way to pack them back into large files.

I'd convert, But during instalation processing successful the video background appears over and over again till the end process . do you can help me? how after the video finished only appear (JPEG) pict . is there possible add one more videoinside setup.cab? and do you know how to archive file setup to be setup .cab with winrar? thanks before...

[Fabioddq]

Dont know, You click on Video button to turn off the video?
The script supported only one video during installation, but you can merge two videos with some video editor like Camtasia Studio.
Use Winrar to open Setup.cab.
