    Hi everyone,

    I downloaded a video today its a 614 MB RAR file. I extracted it and the file extracted to 43 14.3 MB RAR files.I tried to open one of the extracts and its 614 MBs avi file. How do I combine these files since they are saved as 43 separate filesand they won't seem to play until they are combined some how.Any help would be great!

    Just open the first of the 43 RARs and extract. It will automatically extract from all the subsequent parts to create one .avi file. If the .avi file won't play then it's probably a codec issue as opposed to something to do with the RARs. Download GSpot/Videoinspector/Mediainfo (any will do) use it to open the avi file, and post back here with the video codec used.

    tailschao, thanks so much I tried what you suggested and it worked.
    All I had to do was extract the first .rar file. Thanks again!
