and also use mtt0 because. mtt1 makes blocks independent and hence might loose ratio.

u can also place threads.
it is clearly said. i mtt0 the blocks loaded r not independent and in mtt1 blocks r independent of each other hence u can set no. of threads in lolz during decompression also while as in mtt0 the decompression threads r equal to threads used during compression.
BTW have u ever seen threads parameter in FG's lolz section of cls.ini . She also uses mtt0. and also with mtt0 and mt1 u get sequencial compression.

2,8 gb too

[JustFun]

Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered from 9.4GB to 2GB
srep+lolz

But can be compressed even more if you use bpk on videos and other tools

[ZakirAhmad]

itried to use the exe version of bink compressor on some files from AC 3. i tried in sold mode. tje files compressed 2 times better than dll version of bink compressor. in exe version ratio was 38% and in dll version ration was 77%.but when i decompressed with exe version with the provided exe unpacker, i got crc error after the first bik file extracted. in sold mode with exe version sometimes compression too fails.

my guess is, it is bink compressor doesnt work when we put bik files in container that is why dll version of bink comlressor first compresses then puts files in arc container.

suggested changes if u think r needed.

compressed AC3 from 15.4gb to 5.08Gb using precomp srep lolz afr and lzma2.
bink compressor on videos.

I guess, i shkud stop posting here, because some doesnt like precomp doesnt mean we shouldn't use it.
