Yes, use WinRAR. When you have installed WinRAR, then you right click one of the .rar files and click extract here. This will then automatically extract the rest of the rar files along with the one you selected.

I thank you for your response really i do appreciated it.

Now once i have unzip the rar file with the WinRAR, do i need a special player to play the movie or does the WinRAR will do everything from there?

does the WinRAR comes for free?

WinRAR is pretty much free you can use it forever without having to pay thats just say. it depends what type of movie it is like a .avi or what but i would suggest video lan play (vlc player)

Once you extract the rar files what format of video do you get? You aren't trying to play the rar files are you?

Oh right. Well nvm everyone has to learn, no harm done. As for part of the file being missing, I can only assume that this is a corrupt (broken) rar file.

Oh yes! I'm sorry i was in two minds, answering two threads at once! lol

I have edited my post accordingly, but what I said about it being corrupt still stands, if it is a downloaded dvd. Which I presume it is as it is rar files.

If there were PAR or PAR2 files that came with the movie, download Quickpar. If you have enough PARs you can rebuild the damaged section.

Otherwise, extract the RAR file again but in the extraction screen, tick the box labelled "Keep broken files". That'll allow you to recover part of the file.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
