6xDVD5, at least with one language (german).

I think RZ is better, but takes 100 years and i don't know if it will reduce the size significant. Feel free to test

Can anybody please explain how to use records.inf to show progress with nz in wpi.
I was able to generate records.inf in source directory for nz64 (nanozip) by changing tmp to source and percentage to 0, 0 bu when i include records.inf in resource directory and change back scr to tmp in script, nanozip is still not showing progress.
