short movie rar help

[legman]

Here is an example of a problem and what you can do to fix it.

Download a 3 cd svcd movie (Spygames)

Realize when you wake up that the first and last rar are missing, but you have no way to get it, as the movie was a predvd release and some stupid group was using the pub you grabbed it from the send to affils.

Copy the first and last rar of the second cd to a new folder. Rename them to the real names of the first cd first and last rar. Move them into the first cd folder. Extract the rar to the bin and cue. The bin will have the name of the second cd, so rename it to the first cd.

The cd 1 will play, although you will get about 30-45 seconds of cd2 at the beginning and at the end. Hopefully, you only missed the trademark/copywrite warnings at the beginning.

I am not saying you will run into these problems, but these things are easy to do. Expand or mod this as necessary for your needs.

Better still, only download winrar'e movies with par files, then use mirror.exe or smartpar to fix any missing or corrupt rar files
