first read this about rar files

then make sure you have a codec pack install
k-lite codec pack is good

and use a player like bsplayer to watch it

or just use vidoelan to watch it without installing a codec pack

im still confused. :frusty:

i extracted the first file like the guide said and then i went to that folder to find ANOTHER .rar file i opened that up and saw a "crm-hb1.bin" file and i guess i try to extract that, and i get an error halfway through..

im completely lost. any help is appreciated.

is there also a .cue file when you try to extract the .bin ? if there isnt a .cue it means the .bin cannot be extracted and file is corrupted...

When u d/led the movie was it first in a .tar format or .rar?

[the mighty tearlezz]

try this go download winrar if you dont have it already.start by unzipping the first file nr1 file, nr 1 cd file winrar will automaticly unzip the rest of the files .after unziping you should be able to wacht those files and burn them to cd or dvd.

um , you dont extract the bin and cue file mate ,

the cue and bin files you have are for burning to cd

use your burning program eg like nero to burn an image to disk

or you could get damon tool and mount it on your hard drive if you dont have a burner

or use vcdgear to convert the bin to an mpeg
