WinRAR trick: how to PREVIEW video files without downloading all parts

WinRAR trick: how to PREVIEW video files without downloading all parts!

 

Guys, many movies posted are broken into many pieces using WinRAR. usually you have to download all parts before unzipping.

Now here’s a simple method to watch the movie without downloading all parts. First, download the first few parts (even
just the first part is enough) and start to unzip as normal (but
remember to check the ‘keep broken files’ check box first in the dialog
box !!!).

Now use VLCPlayer to watch the movie!!! (of course, only the downloaded part will be watchable ;-)

In the mayhem of "Da Vinci code " movie many ppl downloaded 700++ MB
documentaries which were named as davinci.part1.rar etc etc .
After horrible hours of downloading the only thing they got was extreme frustration(some stepped ahead breaking the monitors).

 

Bottom Line : This is just a trick to know wether u r downlading the right thing or not.

How to take and post screenshots from Video files


This may be very basic but i see many people asking for help on this. This is the proper way of taking screenshots from a video . I hope this helps many
If you have the K-lite codec pack along with the Quick time and real alternatives installed , this works for all video files .

Software used:Windows Media Player Classic

To take a screenshot , still the video to get a good screen of your choice and then click on "save image" under "file" as shown and save it as a jpg file .

Upload the jpg at ImageShack or as attachments and post the screenshots
