Hi Anthony,

You mean, how to expand this archive? I'm using StuffIt 12 Deluxe, does pretty much formats, including rar.

Cheers,

This turned up some suggestions.

My personal preference is still The Unarchiver.

I use SimplyRAR, and I like it: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21430

I am kind of curious as to if there's a program to use with .rar files that will take advantage of the 4 cores in my system though.

UnrarX is good little utility for rar archives.

Well to give some insight to what I'm trying to do is I have a movie that was sent to me in a .rar so yea. I think I have of unzipped but now quiktime needs a plugin to make it work...oh joy

Perian and Flip4Mac together will let you play all possible video in QT 🙂

Forget quicktime, just download vlc player.

And if you want to watch movies via Front Row? Or use additional filetypes across the OS?

A multi-part .rar? Sure why not.

Exactly. Allowing quicktime to playback any media type is a much neater approach.

VLC does support the Apple Remote.
