what do i do with file extension .001 File

[mattyb]

I have been downloading for some time and burning to dvd, but I have just come across this file extension which the computer does not recognise:

filename .001 File

this is repeated all the way to


filename .094 File

What should I do with them.

Cheers

open the first 001 with winrar, http://www.rarsoft.com/ .

It also could just be split. Usually there are a .r00 and a .rar in a full set. Not always, I know, but usually. Try BLJoin if WinRAR complains.

it's also possible....especially if .001 is last part of full name of file, that it was video split with a program call HJSplit (I think that's the correct name)

there are a few programs that split/join files.. files with extention 001 002 etc are mainly done on usenet.. but thats besides the point.. any filejoiner will rejoin them.. i used one called joiner32 in the past.. that will join them to one main file.. and that might be an iso or zip or something.. maybe a movie file too.. but you prolly already knew that huh? haha..

That also happens when you run a hard disk utility and it finds and repairs a file. Some of them use the 3-digit numerical designator as a default extension.

Heh! You wouldn't really download something like that though, as the original poster explains...

i have the same problem ,i tried open the files with winrar but i got the message no archive

i tried to join the files with filemerger and BLjoin and when i try to open the file i get the message doesn't reqognize !

Try renaming the files and see what happens...

.001 File to 001.avi
.001 File to 001.mpg

Bummer.

Do you remember where you downloaded them from? Might be easier to help if we had the same file to work with.
