Offzip "Error: the compressed data is bigger than the original one"

[Rulesless]

I have a problem recompressing some .rpt files (SM3DAS): in most cases everything works correctly, but for some files appears "Error: the compressed data is bigger than the original one...", even using "-r -r" (I don't need same size, only same compression).
The attached file is affected by this problem (all are .rpt).
Thanks for helping.

Since the whole BIN file is compressed without additional data before and after the compressed data, you can just compress it from scratch by using a tool like packzip or a quickbms script like the following:

Code: Select all

comtype zlib_compress
get SIZE asize
clog "new.bin" 0 SIZE SIZE

(Please note that by default packzip puts the compressed data in the output file so, if the file already exists, you probably want to use the -c option for "recreating" it)

Thank you very much!

Hi i got same issue for a file !
All was ok for the uncompression deflate , i tested this :
offzip.exe -a -z -15 -1 input_file output_folder
result was output.dat file inside output folder, it was what i wanna get

by testing same with the -r for recompression, i got " Error: the compressed data is bigger than the original one"
command was
offzip.exe -a -r -z -15 -1 input_file output_folder

For the test, i just tried to recompress the same file, without changes !


Thanks you
