.zip and .rar files: how to watch ?

I hope this can be useful for those newbies who find problems with .zip or .rar files.

You can't open a .zip or .rar fils with a video player.
Zip and Rar files are compressed files.
You must have Winzip or Winrar (or similar softwares) installed in your PC.
Let's consider the Sabrina's video I posted here (post 03.07.2010, 17:09):

[Versteckter Link - Registrierung notwendig]

if you want to watch this video you must download the 2 parts (from the 2 Megaupload links) in the same folder of your PC.
At the end of the download you will find these 2 files in the same folder of your PC:

Sabrina_02_07_2010.part1.rar
Sabrina_02_07_2010.part2.rar

Then: right click with your mouse on the first file and select 'extract files'.
The video will be decompressed in few seconds and, at the end, you will find a .mpg video
( Sabrina_02_07_2010.mpg ) that you can watch with your common player.

I hope everything is clear.

what version of unrar did you use? im using the rarzilla version and i cant find the archive you mentioned.

Look for files dated 30th of May as they get split up when opened.
