fox123 Posted 15 February 2009 Share Posted 15 February 2009 I just downloaded a film and a bit confused about the contents... There are about 30 .rar files and then a load of file extensions like .r.30 through too r.90 How do I put these onto a disc and do I need to extract all the .rar files? I'm scared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daggers Posted 15 February 2009 Share Posted 15 February 2009 Tch! Tch! Tch! Extract all of the contents of the zip to a folder. Double click on the very last RAR file which should simply be something.rar Inside should be the film file Extract that to the destination of your choice and it will unpack all of the other rar files Film ready for watching Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox123 Posted 18 February 2009 Author Share Posted 18 February 2009 Joe thats exactly what I had, so I extracted the first .rar file (which contained a .iso file) to somewhere I could easily find it. Then, I burned it to a dvd-rw using Ashampoo... it was really easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you extract it, it will just be an iso file, assuming you have image burning software, just burn it with that and it'll play. I downloaded the dvd rip of 'The boy in the striped pyjamas' burnt it with Ashampoo (it is sooo easy with that) and it plays on my PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well using Dvd Shrink when i try and open the file it says: "The system cannot find the specified file" and using 1click i can't open the file. link to Ashampoo (pm ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeyB Posted 18 February 2009 Share Posted 18 February 2009 Then I guess you didn't extract the rar file but just one of the components Their goes that plan then Daggers dont suppose you fancy writing a "Fools Guide to burning dvds" do you? Just for me So when i downloaded from torrents where to i go from their? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hairy Posted 18 February 2009 Share Posted 18 February 2009 As I said above, highlight the first rar file, right click and then chose extract here. It will then extract all the rars into one file. Then use VSO to convert and burn to a dvd. You should find VSO with cracks etc on most torrent sites. VSO can handle all video files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hairy Posted 18 February 2009 Share Posted 18 February 2009 Link sent. Sorry its to a tracker site and not something I have ftp'd but I am at work until gone 8 tonight. Are you sure its a real player file and not something that your pc has associated with real player. When you have VSO installed, load the file by selecting add file and then go to preferences>burn and check the burn box and the delete image after burn so you dont get big vob files hiding in your pc. And dont forget to put a dvd in your burner. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CupidStunt Posted 19 February 2009 Share Posted 19 February 2009 Just for anyone else having problems with this type of file Its basically a xvid,and you can just burn them directly to disk using nero (selecting "burn as data"),either onto a CD or DVD disk ,You can also use a Free program called imageburn http://www.imgburn.com/ You must have a DVD player that is compatible with this format,most new ones are these days,if not, you can pick one up for less than £30 btw if you put it on a dvd disk,you can put as many on as you can fit,i normally put at least 5 on at one time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is better to download a rar library than a single file for something as large as a movie because if something is corrupt you only download the replacement rar and not the whole file again.

Makes sense, but then how do I put it in the same file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
