So it _is_ the size that matters?
While uninstalling some programs (none of them being of the TOMI episodes 
)
I found out this:
So chapter 4 isn't only impressive because of its quality content but also sizewise compared to its predecessors. I wonder why this is? (Maybe due to all of those "heavy" death scenes?)

I'm not hurting for space, so I really don't care, but it is odd.
EDIT: This is on Vista FWIW.
Programs and Properties section of Vista is known to be quite problematic anyway.
If not spot on
Might be an extracted music file here or there, but not much that will change the size dramatically.
BTW: Windows stands for "Winslow OS". Van Winslow programmed it all by himself when he was bored one windless afternoon and continues to do so today. Microsoft doesn't actually have anything to do with it, it just exists because people wouldn't trust an OS that has been programmed by a single homebrew developer.
Well TTG started to compress the speech less tight because people were complaining the compression was clearly noticeable at times.
Also there is more speech in the later episodes to begin with.
I am still amazed how TTG can cram an episode into less then 400MB though.
I thought it is due to the higher amount of cutscenes in chapter 4, not (only) dialogue. Or because they don't "clean up" the chapters from the previous chapter's stuff - anyone noticed that, when extracting the music from one chapter with the TTG music extractor, a lot of music / sounds from previous episodes is being extracted as well?
The animations themselves take very little. They are not movies (where random things can be shown), just ingame animations.
The sound and the the textures (the 'skin' of things) should together take up about 95% of everything.
I don't know about the lazy cleanup. Didn't notice it, but you may be right.
I have this thing where whenever I play the finale scene in chapter 4, right before and right after the cut scene that starts off the finale, I could hear tidbits of Spinner Cay's theme. I thought it was quite curious.
I did not notice the lazy clean up with the music. It seems to be approximately the same size per episode. The voices I haven't managed to extract so far though. I think the biggest difference is created by extra textures and the dialog. The later episodes seem to have much more of the latter. At least it feels like that. The cut scenes aren't movies, just in game animation with long dialog. So the animation part should not really increase the size that much. The same textures and objects are used as out of cut scenes. Therefor only the dialog in the cut scenes should really add to the amount of megabytes. I hope that didn't sound too nerdy and was in any way at least a bit understandable...
Can anyone perhaps point me into the right direction to extract voices?
Yes, that would be correct.
Same problem here.
I might even help out to code it if needed. (Although I do have an other coding project which would get priority) I just really want LeCuck's piraty laugh, several of Murray's lines, and Elaine mentioning her Captain's Quarters
Ehhhhmm... crap!
I knew someone communicated like that was a kind of you!
