[00:30:10] <harub> hi...i was wondering if someone would help me....i've dowloaded a movie (i think its from a dvd) and it consists of a number of files....any idea on how to play it?
[00:30:20] <astro> .vobs?
[00:30:32] <astro> or .r01, .r02 etc
[00:30:34] <Almdudler> or rar?
[00:30:45] <harub> .rar
[00:31:03] <astro> get 7zip off google
[00:31:05] <astro> or similar
[00:31:08] <astro> or winrar
[00:31:14] <astro> they are like a zip file
[00:31:18] <astro> just a different format
[00:31:27] <astro> so if youg et one of those and extra it'll pull together the whole film
[00:31:29] <harub> some are rar and others r12 etc
[00:31:42] <astro> yes it's like .part1, .part2 etc
[00:31:57] <astro> that sort of idea at any rate
[00:31:59] <harub> ah ok...
[00:32:07] <Almdudler> am sharing winrar now
[00:32:07] <harub> i'll give it a try
[00:32:13] <Almdudler> i think
[00:32:19] <astro> 7zip is free
[00:32:30] <Almdudler> probs better as well
[00:32:34] <astro> and won't bug you to register (as the better point from it)
[00:35:16] <harub> sorry to disturb again...am getting a message saying....Unrecognized format for 'C:\Program Files\DC++\Downloads\Just.Cause.1995.iNTERNAL.DVDRip.XviD-iLS\ils-justcause.r00
[00:35:34] <astro> open the .rar file
[00:35:51] <astro> using whichever of the programs you installed
[00:36:54] <harub> i've got vlc....it only plays the first 2.5 minutes
[00:37:36] <astro> sorry which did you get
[00:38:25] <harub> sorry which programs?
[00:38:37] <astro> I mean what did you extrcat it with
[00:39:20] <harub> i didn;t extract...when i opened the rar file....i selected open with vlc....
[00:39:28] <astro> you need to extract it
[00:39:42] <harub> oh....how do i do that?
[00:39:59] <astro> open it with 7zip or whatver
[00:40:04] <astro> and just have a look at the menus
[00:40:10] <Almdudler> select them all and drag
[00:40:10] <astro> or right click on the file and choose extract
[00:40:27] <Almdudler> (right click drag)
[00:40:40] <Almdudler> - group extract
[00:41:35] <harub> there's no option to extract when i right click
[00:41:42] <harub> where do i drag them to>
[00:42:07] <Almdudler> anywhere
[00:42:29] <astro> into a folder
[00:42:32] <astro> any folder
[00:42:39] <astro> the folder all the other files were in
[00:42:50] <Almdudler> or select all the files and then right click
[00:42:55] <Almdudler> = same effect
[00:43:57] <harub> ok...i've dragged them to a new folder...and selected them all
[00:44:24] <harub> could it be that my comp doesnt have the extracting program
[00:44:48] <Almdudler> solution - go to my file list,
[00:44:57] <Almdudler> download winrar
[00:45:04] <Almdudler> from programs
[00:45:20] <Almdudler> wrar 350
[00:45:34] <astro> install it (by double clicking and then doing what it says)
[00:45:35] <BigG> Hmm... should really go to bed, actually...
[00:45:43] <astro> ie. clicking next until you click finish
[00:45:51] ** BigG --> Zzzzz
[00:45:58] <BigG> Have fun pu ¬_¬
[00:45:58] <astro> then right click on any of the .rar/.r01 etc etc files and clicking extract here
