    Is there a movie player that will let me preview rar files you see on newsgroups? So I can just download a few of the rar files and sample as not every poster provides a sample.

    Not that I know off, pretty hard to get rar video format anyway, gonna be even harder to preview the rar file (even if the video is inside) from a media player, so unfortunately No.

    Actually, you can preview a .RAR. Simply rename the .rar to .vob and play it in any DVD player software. If the source is .avi (xvid) you will need to use a utility that will allow you to play an incomplete xvid file. But the principe is the same.

    a rar file is a compressed file you need to open the rar file with winrar to see what is inside the file. you are probley using a bit torrent and downloading a movie and trying to look in the files to see if there is a movie in there right?
