Recently i downloaded a torrent of several videos from a TV series. However when it was finished, i noticed the videos were all split into two parts or something, and wouldn't work.

I had the videos on a PC at the time, and at the top of the folder there was a file called "._DS_STORE" or something. Below that, there was little mini .mov files named exactly the same as the rest of the larger .mov files in the folder, only they started with "._" . the DS_store file and all the mini .mov's are exactly 82kb. This is an example of what my folder looks like kind of:

._.DS_store
._Episode 1.mov
._Episode 2.mov
Episode 1.mov
Episode 2.mov


I cannot open any of the videos in any program on windows. I went back to the torrent site and everybody was saying it worked on their mac. My sister has a Macbook Pro, so i stuck the videos on her computer and tried them. They still didn't work. Somebody on the torrent site said you have to do something in quicktime to put them back together, but i can't figure it out. How can i fix these files? Also is there a way to fix them on my PC?
