These days I use mplayer to watch videos inside RAR archives.

"%programfiles%\7-zip\7z.exe" x -pPASSWORDHERE -so "y:\somerar.rar" "video.mp4" | "%programfiles%\SMPlayer\MPlayer-x86_64-r36541+g43f9255\mplayer.exe" -vo direct3d -ao dsound -sub "y:\subtitle.srt" -really-quiet -subcp cp1252 -nomouseinput -noass -fontconfig -font Arial -subfont-autoscale 2 -subfont-text-scale 5 -subpos 100 -dr -noslices -
