i had recently downloaded a naruto movie but it was in .rar format. i tried to play it with realplayer, media player, and quick time but none of them work. what em i doing wrong and why wont they work

They are zipped files, though u need to download Winrar to unzip the episodes so u can watch them.

U can download it from here http://www.download.com/3000-2250-10007677.html

I would suggest WinRAR

i still dont get how to use winrar

all you have to do is open the .rar file with winrar and then it will show u the naruto movie u select the file and you extract to the folder where you put your anime and then just look in the folder and the movie should be there

Or u can try this after installation, right click the .rar file and select extract here. That should extract the episode so u can watch it.

oh winrar is good too...but i prefer powerachiver
it basically open any files and its new ^^

before i found powerachiver ..i used to use winrar but i dont anymore...powerachiver works the same way as winrar and winzip except it open more file than winrar can

usally i would just right click, and pick "extract here", thats usally when there is onyla few files in it.

Winrar files its like a zipped file! Download Winrar,install, open the file!

Install winrar first step.

Double click on the file you want to open. In the window that pops up select all the files and click on the extract button.

Then you select where you want to extract the files (send it to my documents) click okay.

Then close winrar and all the files you have open and go to My documents and the location that you just extracted to. Double click on your file and your player will play it automatically.

Follow these steps and you will be able to see your movie. If you still cannot see the movie then you might need the DivX codec.

post a link to powerachiever

theres a thing called google, use it.

i did and it didnt show up plz give me the link. winrar is now supposed to be buyed inder to use it.

LOL . . . that's the first time I've heard of using a media player to "play" a .rar file . . .

Winrar works just fine even if you don't buy it. It'll just open up an annoying pop up each time urging you buy. If you have installed winrar, I suggest an easier method of extraction:

Right click on the .rar file and then drag it to your desktop or whatever folder you want to put the file in. Then release your right mouse button and you'll get a menu that includes "Extract Here" choose that and the file will automatically be extracted to that folder without you even needing to open it up in winrar, winzip, etc.

Yup, you don't need to buy it, if there's a 30-day trial version or something like that, just download it and use it.

well does anyone konw where i can het a free winrar

winrar will never expire on you, it'll just keep nagging ya to buy, but you can ignore it, by hitting close on the nag screen, or right click on the file and go to winrar>>extract here, this will bypas everything and just extract the file to the same folder that its saved in, like if the rar file is on the desktop, it'll extract the files onto destop.
