I would like to do the same for the dragon animations contained here: 

Would you kindly suggest me how to do that? Is there any way I could actually copy the same work you've already done on EE fixpack straight to the .bam?

These posts should probably go here, and I used my PS BAM tool to do those.  I broke the task up into 4 separate batch scripts (placed in the same directory as all the BAM files for the dragon animation) and ran them simultaneously to take advantage of my quad core CPU.  I'll post these 4 BAT files verbatim, so you'll need to modify them to point to where you extracted PS BAM_x64.exe (instead of the uncompiled AHK version), and modify the BAM filenames and paths as necessary.  As an example, these are for MDR3.  Run the 1st one until the first pause, hit enter to continue it, and then you can start the other 3.

First of all, thanks to you both for helping. I admit this step (<<you'll need to modify them to point to where you extracted PS BAM_x64.exe (instead of the uncompiled AHK version), and modify the BAM filenames and paths as necessary>>) leaves me a little scared I would not be able to do it. 

I will try to do it later,
