How to play video files with the extension "rar".

When I download video files with the extension 'rar', I can't play them with Windows Media Player or QuickTime.

Could someone please advise what I can do to fix this problem?

Thank you

Rar is a compressed, identical to zip file. You must decompress, using an application like winzip or winrar, then according to what file type it is you should be able to play. If you cannot, you will find the codec that makes the Elf, install it, and then everything should be fine, but if you have problems, go back with the extension on the end of the file, as you have with the .rar and ask again.

    How to open a file with the extension .odg using Vista?

    Hi Defiant503,

    Thank you for visiting the forums of answers.microsoft.com.

    I did some research and a file ending with .odg is an OpenDocument Document OpenOffice/StarOffice (Ver 2) of graphics by Sun Microsystems, Inc.    This means that in order to open this file, you will need this program to open it.  You will not be able to open this file with Vista.

    I hope this information helps.

    In Adobe Captivate, there is a 'PDF export' checkbox when you publish your project.

    No, it was published in an interactive PDF, has always been the case. It's another way to publish the video, that does not need to deploy it to an LMS or a Web server, you can send the PDF file. However, since Flash player is is more integrated in later versions of the Adobe Reader software, the user is to install it.

  • Import files with the extension of contact?

    I have a folder with the files with the extension ".contact" Windows recognize because it opens and displays the contact information when I double click. I'm doomed if I can find a way to import them into Thunderbird but. The option import from address book does not recognize them all when you use the following options: Outlook Express, text file, and the Vcard file. The other two options 'Eudora' and 'Prospects' are grayed out. I can't drag the contact files in Thunderbird address book either.

    I am quite confused because they are obviously contacts and it must be in a common format, or else it does not open with Explorer. If Thunderbird will not import these then I want that it was mentioned on the import menu or somewhere so that I don't have to spend an hour reading and watching tutorials that are of no use. The contacts were from another computer and saved on a new computer to replace by the Geek Squad (Best Buy).

    Thanks ago

    These .contact files are in the file c:\Users\ \Contactsusername? If so, you should see a toolbar with buttons for the new contact, New contact group, import, export etc. Click on export and choose the format CSV or vCard. For csv files, you can change in a spreadsheet for records correspond to the layout of the address book TB. Then select Tools/import... Address books... ... Text file to change the file type filter to comma-delimited (csv) and open the csv file. Then, move the input fields upwards or downwards for match TB.

    To import vCards, see this post.

  • How to open multiple files with the same extension in one program from the Explorer

    I frequently receive several JPG (or whatever extension) files to my clients.  On Windows XP, I could just highlight the files I want to open, and then click Open.  They would be so open to 1 program cascading.  This made it easy when comparing many images.  If I do the same thing in Windows 7, it opens the default program several times and puts 1 image of each open program.  It is Paint Shop Pro in my case.  Thus, instead of so-called images 5 open cascading in Paint Shop Pro... the computer open Paint Shop Pro 5 times with 1 image of each open version of the program.  I tried this search like crazy, but cannot find the right thread for an answer.  Most of the threads are on the opening of the different file types.  My question is only about the opening of multiple files with the same exact file inside 1 free program extension.

    Is this the same version of Paint Shop?

    One thing you might try is to open Paint Shop, then select and drag all the files in this window of the paint shop.  Various programs to manage this type of action differently from the DDE, but it might give you the expected results.
