Having trouble converting to Divx

[elay]

I recently took some home video and am having trouble converting the files, matter of fact, I am having trouble even identifying the file type. I am running a mac, and would like to convert the file to divx. The files I would like to convert are in the following format

dmd-INSERT MOVIE NAME HERE.r25

I would like to convert thh files, and then merge them into one, since there are about 28 of them right now. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

The *.r25 extension tells me it is a winrar file. Download winrar and you should be able to unpack whatever is in the file. You do know that there will be a full series of *.r** files? Sometimes there will be a *.rar file, sometimes they are just numbered. Put them all in the same directory and open the first one or the rar file with winrar to get the full movie or whatever.

Sorry. can't help you there. It is shareware, maybe you can try it out before buying and that would suit your needs.
