You need to unrar it using Winrar, go to www.download.com and get winrar if you don't have it already. Once you've unpacked it all the way it will probably be a .iso that you either need to burn to a cd or use a program like isobuster or vcdgear to extract the mpeg from the iso file...

Tar files need to be untarred, not unrared------sillies

You unrar rar files, and you untar tar files,...there IS a difference.

Anyway, best thing to do is look for a program called PowerArchiver. It is FREE and it is for Windows, and it just does the WORKS-----it can unzip, unrar, untar, and decompress a whole lot of other file formats I've never even heard of, too

I'd suggest looking for that software
