How to view movies without unraring them.

[melatonin]

I usually dont like rar'ed movies cos they take too much time to unrar and etc, but i finally found a way that can make my life easier and wanted to share it with you in case you are not aware of.

Here's how;

1- Go to this site (http://ds6.ovh.org/drp.html) and download Dziobas Rar Player.
2- Install it.
3- Now you can select any rar file from FILE menu or drag&drop them to watch your rar'ed movie. You can also add subtitles.

PS // This works on a rar files made with store mode which is mostly used by release groups...

[kelly338825]

Thanks. There is also a way to do it with vlc too. I just dont like how you cant scroll back or forward, but it is usefull if you dont have much space or time.Thanks for sharing this method.

[dbmp]

Thanks, that is a useful tip. :)

[r77]

[davidw89]

Can u fastforward/back?
What codec does the player support?
SRT subtitle support how do i get that working?

[erunestian]

How do you do that with BSPlayer? Somebody here said it's possible...

[LeeFH]

awesome tool! thank you very much!

[RudeYute]

Been after something like this for ages!

VLC can play single RAR files, but not split ones AFAIK.

[santhu]

Bs Player Supports Rar Files,it Automatically Extracts Subs Too :)

[Skiz]

thanx man for sharing but can be done with vlc player too.............. :)

How? :huh:

[DanielleD87]

i use a vlc plugin to play play the videos in .rar files without extracting..

[p-h-x]

thanx man for sharing but can be done with vlc player too.............. :)

How? :huh:Right click on .rar -> Open with -> VLC player

Though that doesn't work with separated rars.

[RudeYute]

I've tried this since last posting and find it still very buggy.
Whether thats down to coding or the way it extracts the movie I do not know.

DanielleD87, which plugin is that?

[DanielleD87]

it is osx only so what is the point of mentioning it?

[RudeYute]

Good point, was the point of mentioning it?

[DanielleD87]

lol i guess i led myself into that one. angry cuz osx has more programs that are better then windows?

it is called vlc-rar loader. who knows there might be a windows version

[yav_]

thanks, very useful

[TriviuM]

cheers man very useful thanks

[hbkwarez]

Just downlaod the first part of the movie if u are want to see the quality of movie!
extract and view it in vlc...

I guess every one has Hdd greater then 20 gb now... so why not unrar and view it :p

[p2plamer]

[TriviuM]

yes nowadays all HDDs have much more than 20G but I always sooner or later approach the point where every GB can be useful :)

this utility can be helpful,
you also need to have as much free space on C drive as big your movie is (to create temporary file)
and unraring also takes a time (although with fast PC us not so critical)

[Magnum]

Thanks, that is a useful!!!!

[godd555]

To unrar a movie it only take from one to two minutes, is that a long time?

[melatonin]

To unrar a movie it only take from one to two minutes, is that a long time?

it depends on your cpu, and doubles the hdd space you gotta delete it and if you wanna continue seed it thats another problem etc etc :)

[umar7001]

Thx for the useful tip

[ConkiZz]

Very useful :)

[micropino]

nice post, thank you for info :)

[t7hx9k]

Thanks, but wouldn't it take a lot of memory usage?
If it's 720p or HD media and torrent is running at the
same time, it'll cause clumsiness. I prefer unraring
them first although it takes some time. That will only
be about 30 sec though.

[yicker124]

Many thanks for this tip; Never heard of this b4! Great stuff.:)

[Bone.W.Machine]

Thanks, this can be very useful with large HD movies.

[georbe]

I hate rared torrents

[Bone.W.Machine]

I hate rared torrents

I on the other hand like them, keep it scene :)

[Larupia]

Thanks for posting this! This can be very handy.

[rabbitfluff]

Very useful!

Its not the process of unraring that wastes time. Its the fact that I always leave the rars after extracting and watching. It really accumulates over time and can become a real PITA to delete all the rars from every torrent.

[pone44]

Again-
How do you do this with vlc, drag and drop??

I have most of the codecs (i think)but can not figure it out, is not recognizing the format with the VLC player when i drag and drop.

[skumbanan]

Thx! Nice with HD movies.

[Col. Skillz]

wonderful program! it even plays some of my split rars!

it does seem to make the edges more jaggy while playing though..wierd

[Erazor]

Thanks alot for the great tip!

[Ahmed047]

Thanks ,this will save a lot of time .

[Mutu]

big thanx =)

[Radar]

Thanks for the Guide, makes it a little quicker & easier(=

[sriups]

lol this software is great dude will it work fir archives with pwds'

[sriups]

awesome stuff melatonin.

frnds i forget password of my rar file can anybody tell me a software how to recover contents of it..thanks in advance.

[anon]

frnds i forget password of my rar file can anybody tell me a software how to recover contents of it..thanks in advance.

Try to remember it.

There are also programs to bruteforce the password, but let's say that unless it was a simple one, that'll take quite some time.

[Eros-x]

Wow this is so cool! i will be using it allot!

[Cind3R]

Wow thanks. Saves alot of space and time for my small HDD :D

[goldenmard]

Nice one, it will come in handy.

[weedpeople]

Thanks ! Useful tip

[Elif]

thanks, useful app, saved my time

[Yeahh]

thanks bro..useful information

[thebazzla]

yep it certainly is a useful application and very easy to use.saved me many hours of un raring

[K7]

I don't know about that player, I used it once but I didn't liked it. The best method for me is BSPlayer PRO + AC3 codec + CoreAVC. This way I play 1080p .rars smoothly.

[Shared]

thank you very much

[OTB]

Yes, but if you download using an NZB newsreader such as AltBinz or SABnzbd it unrars automatically.:cool:

[magicalboy]

very helpful even though its old!

[marklefe]

lol that's crazy, never knew such technology even existed. lol

[cubaka]

Excellent stuff.

[shbaguse]

thanks nice info :)

[anon]

I've stumbled upon a few RARed releases Dzioba's player couldn't open (mplayer crashed, etc.), even if they were in store mode, but for the most part it's a pretty effective solution.

It'd be nice if MPC-HC supported archives so that I don't have to install two media players, although it's not a huge problem either.

[drmk]

i think it would use the temp storage to extract

[lexxman]

Dziobas Rar Player works ok when the rar set starts r01 but no luck when the rar set stats r00 unless i have an corrupt set

[Mavis]

Good post!

[JBEN]

Thanks a lot for sharing.

[visionmaster]

Good to know, thanks!

[noakail]

Thanks for this.

[flektronic]

thanks

[h3xnan]

Thanks!

[onetwo]

If I remember correctly, NZBPlayer can play movies as it downloads them from usenet, pretty cool stuff:

http://www.nzbplayer.com/

[skeezzee]

I simply use VLC player, right click and play the .rar file.

[moulton]

I've been using NZBPlayer for quite sometime and agree it's a pretty useful tool.

[anon]

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 -

[MjPain]

Perfect! Saves me the time to unrar and delete before watching a movie. Great tip!

[skipper55]

Thanks good tip!

[evitt2]

never heard of this and spent soooooooo much time unraring files, great post and thx forn the share

[Speedo]

I have played rar files in vlc on linux with no dent in the cpu % for ~ 10 years now. This should be mentioned in the first post.

[abcabc]

Whoa didn't know this was possible! Have to check it out.

[TorrentRedical]

The given URL is not working, Can you please update it.

[dusty_6]

Thanks much.

Will you explain how to use a file with a alphanumeric name and a no extension or an extension with ??? Thanks again.

[anon]

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

And these days I use MPC-BC with RARFileSource to load RARs like they're just another video format, it's pretty comfy :turned:

[shivanem]

Thanks ;)

Will save a lot of time !

[mehak_sharma]

Best solution, can you also tell how to convert a MKV file to MP4 ?

[StreamerX]

server not found

[anon]

how to convert a MKV file to MP4 ?

Both of those are container formats, so in principle you can just remux the streams inside.
