RE: .avi & .rar extension files

Winrar:

www.rarlabs.com

Free alternative:

www.7-zip.org

For avi files that don't play properly in windows media player try and find ffdshow (old versions can be found on www.sourceforge.net).

RE: .avi & .rar extension files

AVI files require the right codec also... you have to know what Codec it is so you can DL it.

Mr.steffan hamminga

winrar is for both .avi & .rar or only for .rar files

RE: .avi & .rar extension files

The .avi file has been comressed into a .rar folder. WinRar is just like WinZip. Extract the .avi file from rar compression. Then play the avi file using Windows Media Player, or Nero, or Quicktime, or whatever you want. You may need codecs for some avi's or other video files. If this is the case, then codec packages like Nemo's Codec Download usually cover this. Just try and play it in WM10 and see if WM10 can automatically aquire the codec for you. It should.

If you just want your avi movies I would recommend against codec packs, 99% of the movies play with ffdshow (ffdshow is . For a detailed description of what ffdshow does:

RE: .avi & .rar extension files

Just out of curiosity, this is your only thread in the SW forum, so why did you ask this question here, as opposed to the AutoCAD forum or the Cosmos forum?  Is it a SW video?  ponder pipe
