rar extensions

[Pakarage]

Hello, does anyone know how to play Media files with rar extensions? Also My DivX doesn't open. Can someone help? Thanks!

The ".RAR" extension indicates that the file has been compressed with a program named WinRar. You need to use that program to first uncompress the file. Then you'll be able to play it...

Hi and thanks for your reply, I have downloaded Winrar and have uncompressed these files with it however I'm stil lnot able to play it. Any suggestions? I also have DivX but it doesn't open. Do I need that?

1) Now that you've uncompressed them, what are the filenames and extensions?

2) In order to determine which codec(s) you need for a particular .AVI, you should do the following:

A) Load the file into VirtualDub

B) From the "File" dropdown menu, select "File Information"

C) Post (here) EVERYTHING you see (both video and audio information), or post a screen capture .jpg of the information box

It's a video editing/capture program that you can download from DivXDigest by clicking on the link at the top of this page...
