Users must select one of the video options during setup; failing to include a video bin file can cause the installer to crash or the game to error out when a cutscene is triggered.
The file fg-selective-videos-lossless.bin is a specialized component of digital game "repacks"—highly compressed versions of video game installers designed to save bandwidth and storage space.
Lossless video files can be several gigabytes larger than their recoded counterparts. fg-selective-videos-lossless.bin
Choosing the lossless bin file is a trade-off tailored for users who prioritize the cinematic experience over disk space.
While "optional" files are strictly extra (like DLCs), "selective" files often require the user to pick at least one version to ensure the game functions properly. Lossless vs. Recoded Video Users must select one of the video options
Within this architecture, this specific file represents a choice between visual fidelity and data efficiency. The Role of Selective Bin Files
The counterpart to this file is usually fg-selective-videos-recoded.bin (or lossy ). This version uses heavy compression to reduce the video bitrate to ~3–6 Mbps , significantly shrinking the file size but introducing visual artifacts. Utility and User Choice Choosing the lossless bin file is a trade-off
These files preserve the original bitrate—often around 20–30 Mbps —ensuring that 4K or 1080p videos look exactly as the developers intended.
