The only real limitations are a slight issue with Windows Media Video files (WMV) and like other RAR playing software, the archive has to be stored and not compressed. RARFileSource is a Windows DirectShow filter that gives the ability of playing video files directly from a RAR archive to just about any video playing software, it can even be used with something like Windows Media Player. Thankfully there are ways to play video files directly from inside the multiple part RAR archives without the need to unpack anything. This takes time and if your downloaded is high quality, it could require several Gigabytes of free space to unpack. A problem with this is all files have to be extracted before you can play the file. Files are distributed as a multi part RAR archive, are not compressed but simply stored and split into various sizes depending on their content. The reason some video files are packaged this way is related to “scene rules” which lays out various regulations for groups to encode and upload various content to the internet. With the size of high definition TV shows and movie files today, having to download dozens of chunks to make up a complete video file is not unheard of when you’re after good quality. This can be quite problematic because you have to make sure all the files are available and also make sure they are 100% correct and not corrupted in any way.
Computer users downloading television programs or movies from the internet will know that quite often the resulting files are divided into several parts.
