Please read this mates as my mate- shizzzon has wanted me to tell this here.

"If you have downloaded a movie that is in a rar or tar(dont know bout zip yet but should work) and if you know the process- tar-50 rars-cue;bin-mpg.

Well, I found an interesting way to watch the movie w\o even extracting for a second!

This information should not be used illegally!

Downside- it deletes around 30sec to 1 min at beginning and same at end.

Think of using this as a preview w\o having to extract.

Just rename the tar or rar to the appropriate file ext- mpg or avi.

Please note 2 things-

if avi, import in v-dub since the index block is not there.
if mpg, 1-2 whole minutes has been cut out partial at beginning, partial at end, this information is basically for fast previewing only.

And of course- when you want to extract it, just rename back to the appropriate compression ext it originally was."
