Compressed rars

Thu, 18 Jun 2026 21:51:34 +0000

High, I am trying to construct scene rars that use compression.

So I need a folder with a rar executable in it, but I don't know what name you have to rename the rars, I sussed it out once-upon a time about 10 years ago, but I stopped collecting scene releases, but after trying it several times again more recently I couldn't remember how I got it going or what I had to rename the rars, can someone please explain it to me.

I think this might have something to do with it,

Usage: preprardir.exe [input dir] [output dir]
This tool will extract RAR executables in preparation for compressed RAR support for pyReScene.
Example usage: preprardir.exe Z:\rar\windows C:\pyReScene\rar

Options:
—version show program's version number and exit
-h, —help show this help message and exit
-b, —beta extract beta versions too

Hi,

I'm using the latest commit of pyReScene and of course multiple RAR versions - but none of them are able to create a 1:1 sfv match, which is the goal here.

Are you using Pyautorescene (CLI) or SRRGUI (GUI) ?

Also different rar sets are needed, not just 5.91 as scene rippers use a variations

Finally I believe the outcome may also not be perfect as even in completion, the rars set still has sfv errors with mismatch but the files would extract perfectly :)

Any hints to reconstruct PS5 scene releases?

Sat, 23 May 2026 16:58:44 +0000

Hi all,
I'm trying to rebuild PS5 scene releases (the playable releases by DUPLEX, UNLiMiTED, LiGHTFORCE).
The biggest issue here is probably the format they come in after extraction, which are all loose folders and files.

I don't have the biggest knowledge about ReScene, whatever goes beyond finding the right RAR version and fiddling with mt-set is a huge unknown for me.
I managed to rebuilt smaller releases, which only contain one file (fixes) or PS4 releases (which are also only one installable package file).

WinRAR 5.91 without any mt-set option did the job for Metaphor.ReFantazio.Update.v1.13.PS4-DUPLEX - I'd be surprised if they use different versions/settings for all their releases.
No matter what I do or try, it just doesn't click - I tried my luck with smaller releases first like:

Record.of.Lodoss.War.Deedlit.in.Wonder.Labyrinth.PS5-DUPLEX
Arkanoid.Eternal.Battle.PS5-DUPLEX
Severed.Steel.PS5-DUPLEX

So I was wondering, if anyone of you tried the same and maybe had any luck or could push me into the right direction here.
Any hints what else I could try would be appreciated!

Would be awesome to reconstruct them.

Thank you and regards,
iCEQB

srrGUI error: Creating .srr fails due to double quotes in FLAC Vorbis tags

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 22:39:09 +0000

Hi! I was really frustrated because I spent days trying to get srrGUI to work with my FLAC files (when creating the .srr file). It worked fine with other audio files downloaded from the internet, but not with mine.

I finally realized the issue was the VORBIS TAG in the title: What Is Love (7" Mix). It contained double quotes. Once I removed them, it worked perfectly!

Is there any documentation regarding this issue? What if I actually want to keep the double quotes in the tag?

Partial Success

Fri, 15 Aug 2025 23:05:35 +0000

Using ChatGPT (I'm not programmer) and a couple of evenings of trial and error, I landed up compiling a new srr.exe that will run under Windows Server 2019 & Python 3.13. I think the existing srr.exe's available need to be updated. srs.exe however isn't running under my current set up. I've yet to figure that out (rainy day project) with the help of ChatGPT.

Ironically, I can run the copy of srrGUI that I had beforehand perfectly fine on my home office system (Windows 11, python 3.13) with the older srr.exe & srs.exe (circa 2019/20). So I'm still scratching my head on this one…

pyautorescene 2.0

Tue, 17 Sep 2024 17:58:05 +0000

https://github.com/jaloji/pyautorescene/tree/master

pyautorescene automates the process of returning un-rarred scene releases back into their former glory. It makes use of PyReScene and srrDB to make the whole process has hands off as possible.

With this fork, you can log into your srrDB account to bypass the daily download limit for .srr files. The redirection for srrxx is automatic, so you don't need to worry about it.

It is now also possible to add only NFO/SFV/Sample/Proof/Subs files if you already have scene releases but no longer have the unrarred .mkv files. You can rebuild missing files as long as they are in the same directory.

Additionally, you can search unrarred files by CRC to check if an .srr file is available or if the CRC is valid, for example.

If the script crashes for any reason everything done is print inside autorescene.txt with and without -v.

You got me curious, so I've actually found this release to try on my side. I've been able to ReScene the subs manually with RAR v4.11 and parameters that you apparently already tried:

PS :\> srr -q fico-gof.srr File OK: fico-gof.sub. All files OK! PS :\> srr -q fico-gof-subs.srr File OK: fico-gof.idx. File fico-gof.rar not found. Skipping. Corrupt and/or missing files! PS :\> rar a -md4096 -m5 -mt2 fico-gof.rar fico-gof.sub RAR 4.11 Copyright (c) 1993-2012 Alexander Roshal 17 Feb 2012 Shareware version Type RAR -? for help Evaluation copy. Please register. Creating archive fico-gof.rar Adding fico-gof.sub OK Done PS :\> srr -q fico-gof-subs.srr File OK: fico-gof.idx. File OK: fico-gof.rar. All files OK!

I also tried using the exact same command line than the one you put above, and it worked too, got the expected CRC32:

PS :\> rar.exe a -md4096 -m5 -mt2 archive_winrar4.11_m5_d4096kb_t2.rar fico-gof.sub RAR 4.11 Copyright (c) 1993-2012 Alexander Roshal 17 Feb 2012 Shareware version Type RAR -? for help Evaluation copy.

So there must be an error on your side. Can't say much, but I'm confident you'll find out.

Yep, the CRC32 and file size of the .sub file matches the one in the SRR.
The file attributes were AI.
I ran the script for the other two fico subtitle files I downloaded as controls and could not reproduce the fico-.rar file for either of them.
Maybe they used something custom or I'm just forgetting about something.
I'll clean up the script I made and make a separate post later in the forum for it.

Forum thread: Manual reScene using RAR 5.50 and above

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 21:59:17 +0000

CRC32 hashing doesn't take into account timestamps of the file being hashed, hashing is only done using the data bytes.

By default, only the modification time matters, as the RAR format doesn't keep the others. You can request to include them by setting the "-ts" switch, but nobody does that.

Using the x32 or x64 versions doesn't matter, it will produce the exact same archives.

Is your "fico-gof.sub" file doing 2392064 bytes? Does it match the expected CRC32 (0x06110605)? If not, then it's not the original one found in the FiCO release, and that's why you can't ReScene it. You might also double check that its attributes are set to "..A….", but that would not change the archive size, only the CRC32.

Sun, 11 Aug 2024 17:10:11 +0000

Ok, I think I get what I misunderstood.

1. I didn't realized .srr files could pack other .srr files
2. In the release I downloaded, it included a fico-gof.srr file which contained the many rars and stored the .nfo, .sfv and -sample.srs, so I didn't expect to be able to get another fico-gof.srr file which is actually for the subtitles.

That being said, I tried a bunch of things and still can't get the compressed size and crc32 to match 682720 and 0147E221.
I tried most of the winrar versions I could find and did a lot of combinations in https://pastebin.com/YFzs4Nb4
The thing I noticed is that the latest versions that seem to produce differences are:
2.00, 2.06, 2.50, 2.60, 2.80, 3.11, 3.51, 4.10, 4.11, 4.20, 4.90

So 4.20 is pretty close and would match the 2012 timeline but not exact.
I've uploaded the full output of fico-got.srr for the subfile to https://pastebin.com/raw/5fsqN1EU but what I can see being relevant is

I am also calculating the rar CRC32 without modifying the rar modified timestamp so maybe this affects the CRC?
Do I also need to modify the created timestamp of the files I'm archiving?
Will using x32 vs x64 os matter?
Am I missing any non obvious flags?

Forum thread: Looking for old CMS release that I made (Production & Mixing/Mastering)

Sat, 10 Aug 2024 00:48:32 +0000

Hi mate!

Well, I've downloaded the "fico-gof-subs.srr" file on srrDB for the release you linked, and it actually contains another SRR stored especially to that purpose:

PS :\> srr -l fico-gof-subs.srr Creating Application: pyReScene Auto 0.6 Stored files: 124 fico-gof.srr 33 languages.diz RAR files: fico-gof-subs.rar 716270 Archived files: fico-gof.idx 4B0A7F26 33425 fico-gof.rar 0147E221 682720

So if you extract it, you can retrieve the expected modification time for "fico-gof.sub" from there:

PS :\> srr -x fico-gof-subs.srr fico-gof.srr: extracted. languages.diz: extracted. PS :\> srr -l fico-gof.srr Creating Application: pyReScene Auto 0.6 SRR for compressed RARs. RAR files: fico-gof.rar 682720 Archived files: fico-gof.sub 06110605 2392064 PS :\> srr -e fico-gof.srr | Select-String "FTIME|mod" +FTIME: 2012-04-22 13:58:08 +modification time: 2012-04-22 13:58:8.8843828

The timestamp you're looking for is right there: 2012-04-22 13:58:08.8843828

Otherwise, unfortunately not, the SRR toolkit is pretty basic and can't retrieve RAR details inside RAR details recursively.

Regarding "RAR 1.5(v29)", it was the versioning syntax back to the RAR4 era. Actually, even today if you pack something with the last RAR version able to use the RAR4 algorithm (v6.24), it will show this same version on the "Compression" line:

PS :\> rar a -ma4 rar.rar rar.exe RAR 6.24 x64 Copyright (c) 1993-2023 Alexander Roshal 3 Oct 2023 Trial version Type 'rar -?' for help Evaluation copy. Please register.

Hope I got you right…

Thanks for this detailed post, I'm actually trying to rebuild this release now and it's been much more challenging than I thought it would be especially for the subtitles since they seem to be double archived.

So I downloaded some other releases from that era 2009 and 2014 to inspect how subtitles are packed:

Archive: fico-lmbtcb-subs.rar Details: RAR 4, recovery record Name: fico-lmbtcb.idx Type: File Size: 24181 Packed size: 24181 Ratio: 100% mtime: 2009-01-03 13:39:47,125000000 Attributes: ..A....

This indicates to me 0 compression at this level and a variable dictionary size.
So I extracted the archives to see the inner rar and their settings

Archive: fico-leban.rar Details: RAR 4 Name: fico-leban.sub Type: File Size: 3835904 Packed size: 827312 Ratio: 21% mtime: 2014-04-27 21:37:26,223710100 Attributes: ..A....

CRC32: F664D350 Host OS: Windows Compression: RAR 1.5(v29) -m5 -md=2m

These ones appear to have maximum compression applied and again a varying dict size.

The release I'm looking to recreate does have an SRR file for the subs so I looked at it

Which to me indicates

WindowsOS
1m dictionary size

But since I have a rar (fico-gof-subs.rar) with a rar (fico-gof.rar) which finally contains the sub "fico-gof.sub", I would presume that the modified time of the .sub file in the archive is lost.

Does the srr toolkit save the double archived .sub file time in order for me to recreate it with the same CRC32?

Also, do you know what exactly this "RAR 1.5(v29)" version is? Is it a custom one or just ancient?

Hey,

You will need at least one of these 2 things to start your journey: an SRR for that release, or one of the original RAR volume, even damaged. Otherwise, you'd better give up, as some of the information will be almost impossible to guess. If you do own this or that, then there is a chance of success, and you may continue your reading. :)

I would also like to give a few corrections to your saying: the level of compression should always be the same, as it's part of the scene rules: releases need to be RARed with "-m1". Actually, to be more accurate, I believe only "-m0" is forbidden, but since all this is supposed to be a race, you will really rarely (never?) see a release done with a bigger/slower level of compression, as it could be enough time loss to loose the race. Then regarding the RAR version, well, I don't know why the creator of ReScene made it such a big thing as it's actually not really. From my experience, the main algorithm didn't change that much, and most of the RAR versions would produce the exact same results. Try yourself, you'll see that if you use the same source file and switches, you'll get the same CRCs with almost every RAR version. I unfortunately lost the details, but from my finding, there was like 10 changes that altered the algorithm results, and thus only 10 main versions to stick on. It's easy to find back though, just script a loop to try them all, then compare the CRCs obtained…

So lets start. First thing to check is the ISO last write timestamp. In your example, "release_name.iso" is probably timestamped to the time you've downloaded it. You need to re-timestamp it to the original ISO last write time. You can do this "easily" by running "srr -e Release_Name.srr | findstr FTIME" to spot out the FTIME value. Once you got the proper last write time, just amend your ISO file. I personally do it with PowerShell. Let say the FTIME you found was "2020-02-02 20:02:00", then you just have to run this command: "(Get-Item .\release_name.iso).LastWriteTime = "2020-02-02 20:02:00".

Then you need to know the dictionary size used to RAR the release. The norm these days is often 4MB (-md4m), but it has changed a lot over the years, so it will depend on when your ISO has been RARed. If you own an SRR file for that release, "srr -e Realease_Name.srr | findstr LHD_WINDOW" should return the dictionary size, if you own one of the original RAR volume, "rar lt release_name.rXX" should return some very useful information, including the compression level and the dictionary size at the last line. For example "RAR 1.5(v29) -m1 -md=4M" means again 4MB.

Then you need to know how many cores got used to RAR the release. In other words, you need to "guess" what was the CPU used by the packager… After repacking some yourself, you'll end up with your own DB of guesses for each release groups and era. But good tries these days are often 16, 24, 32 or even 48. A good thing is that 1, 2, 4 & 8 were/are also common ones, and should all produce the same result than 16 & 32, so I would definitely start by trying 16. By the way, max is 64. RAR can't currently handle more. (didn't try with RAR v7 though, but not relevant for us, will tell you why soon)

And finally, you need to force the use of RAR4 by adding the switch "-ma4". By the way, it's not possible anymore since RAR v7.00, so I would recommend sticking on RAR v6.24 which is probably going to be the most used one, at least on recent releases. They've also removed the "-vn" switch used to force the old style volume naming, what a shame… :(

That's it! This should be enough to recreate 90% of the releases. There is of course some other traps & tricks, but rarely met. You've actually mentioned one, which is the OS used to package the release. it's a more tricky one that you might think… You can find out the OS by running "rar lt" like already done before. It is stored at byte 0x23 of every RAR volume: "02" for Windows, "03" for Unix & "04" for MacOS. You could amend it manually with an hex editor, but you have to know that each segment of a RAR file ends with a CRC check to tell if it has been damaged or not. So if you amend the OS byte manually, you also need to recompute & amend the said CRC… which means you will also need to amend the main CRC contained in the last segment, and computed using all the previous segments… which means you will also need to recompute & amend the CRC of the last segment. Oh, and there is also the file permissions stored from byte 0x2F to 0x32… Erh… In other words, that's probably where we all decide to give up.

There is one last case that I didn't mention. Depending on how the packager scripts are done, it is possible that the ISO file got stream RARed using the "-si" switch. This would change some bytes here and there, and this will always amend the FTIME to current time, so you cannot force the original one anymore. Again, unless you're ready to hex edit and recompute CRC segments etc, better give up.

As a final thought, you should keep in mind that some release groups are using their own modded RAR version. When that's the case, srrDB displays this warning at the end of the release page: "Custom RAR packer detected". In these case, there is nothing you can do to reconstruct, that's a 100% give up.

I wanted to dev something using all the knowledge I managed to gather over the years, but never really had the time. If someone does, please, feel free to use my findings and/or contact me. :)

Hope it helped.

Possible future solution for Unable to locate track signature for track X

Tue, 18 Jun 2024 05:33:16 +0000

Hi there
I was trying to reconstruct a mkv sample file, and ReSample gave me the error: Unable to locate track signature for track 3. Aborting.
I got the original sample file anyway, and when I compared it with the main video file, I notice that the track 3 is a subtitle track, and somehow, when they created the sample file, they applied zlib compression to those subtitles. So, the content of the tracks is different in each file.
I think a possible solution, for future versions of ReSample, could be to save the entire track blocks/frames inside the srs file, only for tracks that can not be located in the main video file. This would be applicable only to small tracks such as subtitle tracks, to maintain a relative small size.
Of course, this only could be done if the main video file is available and the -c option is specified when the srs file is created.

Looking for album I created VA-Katalist_Presents-Styles_United-2002-CMS

Sat, 08 Jun 2024 06:11:47 +0000

I am looking for an album I created years ago, wondering if anyone can point em in the right direction? Below is the info about it, thank you so much if anyone can point me in the right direction! I had it on an old computer and external HD years and years ago, but had many years of health problems to deal with and when I went to check the computer and External drive it was gone. I see SRRDB put up the SRR file of it in 2014, curious if anyone can point me in the right direction of getting a copy of it all these years later? I know it is a long shot but thought I would ask. Any Torrent? IRC channel? FTP? Website?

Thanks so much to anyone who can point me in the right direction or that responds, take care.

Looking for old CMS release that I made (Production & Mixing/Mastering)

Sat, 08 Jun 2024 06:01:29 +0000

Hello all! I created an album years ago and CMS released a scene release for it. Long story short, I had a ton of health issues I had to deal with and was pretty much not able to do much of anything and when I finally checked my old computer and old External they both where busted, would love to get my hands on a copy of this rip. Someone on srrdb uploaded the SRR file for it (I will post the link below).

If anyone has any idea of a IRC channel, website, torrent or FTP that might have old CMS releases I would be more than happy.
The name of the album and release is: VA-Katalist_Presents-Styles_United-2002-CMS

The SRR website link is: https://www.srrdb.com/release/details/VA-Katalist_Presents-Styles_United-2002-CMS

If anyone can point me in the right direction of getting a copy of this scene release I would be over the moon. I know it is a real long shot, but I thought I would ask on here as it says "pyReScene Auto 0.5 " on the srr webpage.

Thank you and take care everyone!

Can someone help me understand more about RSS files?

Wed, 29 May 2024 12:43:09 +0000

I just started learning about .rss files and I don’t know all about it yet. I have some .rss files that I’m guessing, contain some videos. I’ve been able to extract them with another extracting tool, that would extract the files as an MP4 or MKV, but the files would have no data after extracting. On the site that I got them, I saw that the files were over 1GB.

I’m on Mac as well and I haven’t seen your Rescene application being able to download on Mac. What could I do to open my files on Mac, is there a version of your app available for macOS? Also, would the actual Rescene app do what I did but extract the files with actual data on them?

Missing RAR-files and Archived files

Sun, 21 Apr 2024 12:26:12 +0000

Hello

Sometimes certain elements like rar-files or archived files are missing in SRR.
For example on https://www.srrdb.com/release/details/INSIDE.eShop.NSW-BigBlueBox, this informations are missing.
Is this related to a badly generated SRR file?
Is it possible to upload a news version for the same release?

Thanks.

I threw together a powershell script inspired by XP10's snippet.
I requires WinRAR to be installed to "C:\Program Files\WinRAR\Rar.exe" (typical x64 install path for WinRAR).
It is also recommended to have a more recent WinRAR version installed, which can handle RAR5 setups (that's where the python implementation probably fails).

The script expects your setup files to look either like this: winrar-x64-.exe or wrar.exe
They can all be in the same folder.
Drop this script in the same folder where all your setups are and run it with this command:

powershell -executionpolicy bypass -File .\preprardir.ps1

The script will create a x86 and x64 folder and sort the extracted rar versions accordingly - I don't know that even matters for pyReScene and my implemented "logic" is crap but it works.
The script will also rename the extracted Rar.exe files just like the python version did.

It was tested against the "<=4.20 + betas" from this page: http://rescene.wikidot.com/rar-versions and pack I created with newer WinRAR version (5.50b1 up to 7.00b4) - please mirror it.

https://postimg.cc/Jy1s3Y1Q (proof of errror code in srrGUI)

That's odd; this is the error code I get when trying to use any of the four processes listed on the srrGUI. I also forgot to mention I also get the error code 0xc000007b from srr.exe. I know it's supposed to be some issue with 32/64 bit incompaitbility with vcruntime. Followed the troubleshooting steps from previous post about this and still getting error code.

By the way, has this been tested on windows 11?

Retag not working, not sure why

Mon, 29 Jan 2024 03:59:37 +0000

I had this all working fine and used it for years on my old Windows 8.1 machine. I'm on a new Windows 11 machine and I can't get anything to work. I've installed Python and set my PATH. When I run retag in Powershell from the unzipped directory it just loads to a new line, without trying to do anything. The same thing happens with srr and srs.

When I try to use Command Prompt I get an error that, "The code execution cannot proceed because MSVCR100.dll was not found. Reinstalling the program may fix this problem." I've verified MSVCR100.dll is on my system, it's actually in several directories including system32. I even reinstalled the C++ redistributables (2010 and 2015-2022).

Not sure what the issue is, anyone have any ideas?

I switched to using the command line after some better understanding, but I'm running into the same problem.

I extracted the versions of winrar following the tutorials and grabbed a hold of the srr file, but it's showing me the same thing as the GUI did, only that it also precises the mkv file is missing.

Using the -l command shows me the rar file and volumes, but the extraction process only ever recreates the same 3 files once. Here's a screenshot of what I got for reference. https://imgur.com/a/MLAfPDg

Missing volumes?

Mon, 01 Jan 2024 18:34:14 +0000

I got the exe files, but as the command line was hard to figure out, I picked srrgui.exe to reconstruct the rar file. From the website and from the program, it tells me about the sfv, the nvo and the srs files, and it also tells me about the original rar file as well as the r00 to r22 files, but as soon as I start the process, the rar file shows up without the other parts.

I figured that maybe it was downloaded all at once, but when I try to extract the mkv file inside, it asks for the next volume, which isn't anywhere in my computer. I feel like I missed a step, as I'm completely new to this, but those being missing, I can't open the mkv file at all. I just downloaded the latest winrar and am not sure I follow the tutorials properly (kind of a visual learner on this one, wished there was a video tutorial on how to do it).

Does anyone know what I must do for all the volumes to show up so that I can properly get my file extracted?

Can't rebuild Splinter.Cell.Chaos.Theory-RELOADED

Sun, 10 Dec 2023 16:09:55 +0000

Hi all,

I'm trying to rebuild Splinter.Cell.Chaos.Theory-RELOADED but non of the RAR versions (184 version tried) match the packer that RELOADED used.
I read that RELOADED has some kind of custom packer and that this issue has been resolved in 2016 (https://bitbucket.org/Gfy/pyrescene/issues/107/hi2u-and-reloaded-rar-files).
Is there any flag that forces pyRescene to try the RELOADED modifications while testing for a compatible RAR version?
I saw in the source code that it was tested with Street.Fighter.V-RELOADED which was released 10 years after Splinter.Cell.Chaos.Theory-RELOADED - so I hoped that Splinter Cell won't be an issue.
Currently I don't know what to do from here :(

I think this is great tools but i also feel that it is very messy.

It is old aswell. Perhaps an overlook and an update would be in place? Make it more easier, a one package install and you have everything setup. Both windows, linux and mac.

EDIT:

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your Python code. The error message you received indicates that the time module in Python 3.11 does not have an attribute named clock. This is because the clock function has been removed from the time module since Python 3.8 1234.

To fix this error, you can replace the clock() function with either perf_counter() or process_time() functions, depending on your requirements

This is what BING told me.

EDIT2:

After some conversation with chatGPT 3.5 this is the new updated file with the changes

added
from time import perf_counter

changed
t0 = time.clock()
to
t0 = perf_counter()

t1 = time.clock()

Manual reScene using RAR 5.50 and above

Fri, 17 Nov 2023 03:03:39 +0000

Hello, everyone.

I am looking for some information or documentation on how to manually reScene unpacked scene release.

What I know that a command prompt is definitely used with some specific switches to create rar files.
Example:

rar_version.exe a -m1 -mdG -mt4 -vn -v250000000b release_name.rar release_name.iso
rar_version.exe a -m1 -mdG -s- -ds -mt1 -vn -o+ -ep -idcd -vn -v11766322b release_name.rar release_name.iso

Yet, CRC32 sums never match when I try to verify obtained results with SFV files stored at srrDB.

Does anyone can provide a few examples of such a command prompt that are typical for a Scene Group (e.g. Fairlight or Codex)? Or guide where I can find them.
I know that srr files actually contain some hints of what RAR version (Windows, Linux etc.) was initially used for packing a Scene Release and sometimes it is necessary to play with switches (for example, changing numbers for: -mt1 or -mt3 etc) to guess the correct command prompt.
However, I am so confused of what other switches could look like and a number of tries the guessing process may take. Not to mention that different RAR versions add even more variability for manual reScening.

I have been using srrGUI / pyReScene for some time and know that sometimes to find a good RAR is a pain in the neck. However, due to inability to reScene any releases after packed with RAR 5.50, I am wondering how others do it. Yes, I know that such manual reScene is rather a method based on a trial and error. But, I believe that more experienced folks know a few tricks for each Scene Group to begin with. On the other hand, I have a feeling that such command prompts should be pretty similar for each Scene Group (except for a size of a rar and a level of compression that change depending on each release).

Any assistance will be highly appreciated.
