Install 7-zip. That will enable you to extract the contents of the .RAR files you download.

I take it you have 7zip installed? I do not use it myself I use winrar, (winrar and 7zip are data compression programs).

After downloading the file from rapidshare, (or what ever filehoster you are downloading the files from), you will want to merge and or extact the files to get the original file. When dealing with a file with a .rar extension right click on the file, (if there is more than one file right click on the part1.rar file), and choose the extract option. Choose the folder you want to extract the file to. You should then have the playable video file.

If you have trouble playing the video I would suggest VLC found here:

You are some type of test aren't you? I mean really, I do not want to seem impatient but this is getting silly.

My comments here is called a post. A post is contained in a thread. Individual Posts can be identified by the number above and to the right of the post. This threads' link is:
http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/showthread.php?t=330971

Your First post in this thread also has a link. It is:
http://www.akiba-online.com/forum/showpost.php?p=795879&postcount=1

You posted, (or tried to, somehow you messed that up), the download link itself. We do not want that. We want the link to the Thread or the link to the individual Post you got the link from.

Okay? In the words of Tom Cruise:
"Help me, Help you".

i really appologise,,now i understand what you ment,,,youy can see now how hard it is 4 me to get used to all this but with a little help ill get there im sure,,i truly appriciate it ,thank you

You get one more chance from me. That is it. Cclick on that link you just posted and see where it takes you? does it take you to the post where you got the links of the file that you are trying to extract? No. It does not. When you find a link that does, then post it here. Don't post any other link here or I will give you an infraction for trolling.

Like Ceewan asked, please link to or at least state what vid you are downloading and where you are finding it on the board.

The fact that your file has the extension ".003" at the end of it means its a section of a larger file that needs to be joined to play, which is why elgringo14 posted the link on how to join files.

In my experience with HJsplit files, you can edit the file extension from "yoko.wmv.003" to "yoko.wmv" and it should actually play.

But if you then want to join the file with the other parts of the video, you'd have to change the file back to "yoko.wmv.003" and use a joining program to put them together.

You've got instructions for extracting archives files, and you've got instructions for joining .001+.002+etc files. That's all you need, the rest is up to you.
