Please Help–Newbie Question

I'm sure that this has been asked countless times but I can't seem to find the answer.

After searching around newsgroups for movies I have noticed that they all are broken up into section (.r01, .r02, etc...)

My question is what Mac program do you use to put the pieces back together in a watchable format. I'm not concerned about burn to disc, yet. I would just like to be able to watch them on my desktop.

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Is it a mov file? You can combine them with quicktime. If its mpg im not sure if you can but just mess with things and see what happens...

All u need is winrar.
To unzip .zip file u need winzip.
Similar way to unzip all (.rar, .r00 .r01 etc) u need winrar. I'm not sure winrar is available for mac? why don't u search "winrar" using yahoo or lycos

You will need winrar to put the files back together again. I just looked at their site and it looks like they have a version for mac. Check out http://www.winrar-usa.com/html/downloadfreestart.html

Thanks. I'll give it a try when I get home. Now I need to hunt around for some good movies to try.
