Not enough info dude...if you have a rar file which contains athe avi file you will need the RAR program to extract the video that has been compressed into the RAR format...\n\nor\n\nif you have the RAR file and cannot extract the AVI file...then you need the password to unlock the AVI file from the RAR file so you will have to go back to the place where you downloaded the file and seek the password which is usually included in the same paragraph as the info for the download of the RAR file.\n\n\n1. What is a RAR file\n\nRAR is the native format of WinRAR archiver. Like other archives, RAR files are data containers, they store one or several files in the compressed form. After you downloaded RAR file from Internet, you need to unpack its contents in order to use it. \n\nDownload RAR file which is free from this link

I've been getting the same problem too using QuickTime Pro to convert .avi or .mov files to .mp4.  I've found it's really hit or miss with the conversion.  If one file doesn't convert,  I have to go find another that will convert.  Sorry if that's not much help, but I'm glad to know I'm not the only one!  haha

Usually if there are that many files for just a movie then it's divided into the archives. Find one file in the folder with .rar extension, open it with WinRar or 7-zip, and it should compile a while movie from all those files.\nIf it's not a rar archive then I'm not sure. Need to know what kind of files are in the folder :)

If your desire is to convert the AVI files to a DVD-related file structure for the purpose of playback on a conventional DVD standalone player, do the following:\n\n1. Convert the AVI/mpeg file(s) to a DVD compliant mpeg-2 file(s) using "TMPGEnc" or "TMPGEnc Plus". Use the DVD template (NTSC or PAL) form the "Project Wizard" to help you accomplish the task.\n\n2. Then use "TMPGEnc DVD Author" (different than "TMPGEnc") to author the newly created mpeg-2 into a DVD-related file structure (.IFO, .BUP, .VOB). As an alternative, you can use "DVDLab" to author as well.\n\n3. If the combined filesize of the project exceeds 4.37 Gig, use "DVD Shrink" or similar transcoding program to compress.\n\n4. Use "Nero" or similar burning program to burn onto a DVD (r, rw) disk.

Use Windows Media Player, it's already setup to play them.  Just double-click the .avi file, and Media Player will start up, and start playing the file.

.rar is not a file of any media player. Rar is a compressed file format of WinRaR... You need to extract file.rar using winrar software... Go to http://www.rarsoft.com And download the software.

An avi file is a video, not a text file.  Try playing it in a video player like Windows Media Player or Divx.
