For uncompressing the various formats of compressed files, there is 7-ZIP.
I think it can handle RAR.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7-zip

"7-zip can unpack the following formats in addition to the formats it fully supports:
ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, DMG, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MSI, NSIS, RAR,
RPM, UDF, WIM, XAR and Z. (Full pack and unpack support is provided for
the following formats: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR)."

For determining what CODEC is needed, to play a video, you can
try GSPOT.

Re: Need Help with rar files

You need to extract the video files from the RAR archive.

RE: Need Help with rar files

You need winrar to extract the files:

WinRAR 3.71
