Just found a way to optimize video compression, tried a muxed video+audio stream and I noticed absolutely no quality loss, now let's just pray it'll be enough to optimize the 372 MB I have to get rid of (all videos from both UMD's make a total of 1.0 GB, and I need to reduce them to 628 MB so everything can fit in a single ISO).

Maybe I'm saying a stupid thing but...did you remove "install data" and "update" from ISO? Update is useless and we don't need "install data" if we play from ISO but probably you know it
Sorry if I said something stupid but I was trying to help
Keep going guys, you are doing an excellent work

Yes, that helped a little and saved some MB's, but still a lot to optimize. The problem is that there is no way to load files bigger than 2GB, even though the ISO format has no theoretical size limit, once a file goes over 2GB its size is recognized as negative due to an overflow, and since Type-0 has only one (big)file, we have to deal with that...
Also thanks Atistian, character recognition will be important since one miss-recognized character will appear wrong EVERY time in the extracted script.

Hmm maybe u could ask someone, who knows much about the PSP itself (if u don't know it well urself, I mean). Maybe someone can make a patch of sorts for bigger files then 2 GB. Or do I miss a point here?^^ Im not in it myself, I just followed the PSP haxor scene a bit and it shouldn't be impossible right?
Unfortunately that's a limitation of the ISO9660 file system. For example, a standard DVD (level 2) can't have files bigger than 2GB either. Obviously a patch would be possible, but in that case, the PSP's firmware would have to be patched too.
That's what I meant. There are some Semi-Patches, that disappear after PSP restart. There was a case for MGS: Peace Walker, where the PSP did get stuck after a certain point, with such a Semi-Patch it worked. But to be honest, I don't know what that patch does so it is a hypotheses. U could ask some good coders who work on the Firmwares itself. People who did work on FW's are Coldbird and Wololo. Don't know if they can help u but as I remember Coldbird has his own Blog somewhere, I can search for him if u like. But if u think it is impossible with the limitation of the ISO9660 fs then I will leave it to u
Yeah. I'm fine with that. I don't know much, if anything, about the technical ramifications, but it sounds okay to me.
