Hello,
I am in the proccess of creating a new release group, in the group we will release via bittorrent Games, Movies, and Programs. Now I would like to have a way to compress files for internet distribution and can't help but notice Myth's amazingly small file size mainly due to thier dos based compression. I am prepaired as a last resort to design my own compression suite... But as many programmers know that can be very time consumoing, and i really need something reliable to hit all the snags of downloading etc... and come out working. I would like the compression ability however to be as great as possible... this means to be compressing all types of media that may come with a game or a movie, or even apps. It must be able to work on all windows systems, or as close to as many as possible. (no don't worry if it doesn't work on windows 3.0... :lol: ), I am planning to be very Windows based, so don't worry about Mac, or even linux for that matter. How long it takes to decompress is also not a facter, as long as it doesn't take years... the myth compression could extract very easy, and i wouldn't be surprized if i get refered back to it, but i don't want to be found ignorant when thier is a better way. I would really enjoy not having to give the team the responsibility of also haveing to script our own compression method/implement...
First off, i want to thank anyone who even replys to this with constructive critcism.
Secondly i would like to bow down and praise who ever manges to get a good compression method established! :P
Thank you!!!!
