How do I join multiple rar files to make one video?

[artt311]

Hi I downloaded a movie that is split into multiple parts, the movie was downloaded from rapid share. My question is how do I unrar the multiple parts to make just 1 big file to see the movie. The problem is that if a unrar the parts separately the movie does not work.

Well, I just made a quick google search and I found the same web page where I learned how to unrar from: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/open-ra...linux-or-unix/

Neat. I hope you enjoy it. I think it is: rar or unrar -x <file name.rar> you'll figure it out by hiting the tab key once you get to the file name. enjoy.

Thanks for the help. I finally did it, but I think the problem was coming from the program Ark, so I went to add/remove software and downloaded X-archiver which works just fine. I put all the rar files in one folder and extracted the first file and that was it.

Thanks again for the fast reply.

Artt.

I've also noticed that Ark has problems with extracting .rar files, so I usually run unrar e xyz.rar commandline to extract whatever file.

Yep, I usually use the command line for rar archives as well. I never thought about using Ark.
