Downloaded file but dont know what to do?

Question

i have downloaded what i understand to be a rip of a dvd, dont worry it isn't an illegal copy.

However it consists of 93 Winrar files, one sfv file, and one msinfo document,

What do i need to do to burn these on to a dvd to watch, i have the software etc and i have extract 1 file which then creates a IMG file it is not an drawing or photograph and its file sixe is 4.5 gig before unzipped it was only 45mb any ideas

Answer 1

I write this in addition to above. It's only a bit more details:
By using Nero you will be able to burn an image (*.img) file to a disc.
In any case, first you need to check the type of file(s) inside the downloaded file (which I believe you've already done). For that you might want to open that msinfo file with Notepad.
It's a plain text, so don't be affraid to do it. Usually there are some descriptions inside the info files. But if you didn't find any description in any file, simply check the file extentions (ie. *.bin, *.img, etc...). If Nero supports the file type, use it to burn the file.
If you're not sure about it, please go and check with the site or computer (or if it's a p2p network, then check with them (usually in the forums), in the FAQ) and you'll find the answer. Websites usually have a description on what should be done after download.

I hope these help.

ok first you need winrar it unzips the files when you have downloaded it highlight all the rar files and right click and hit extract here ...
after you have extracted you should have a new file opened it could be cue and bin these get burnt to cd using nero is best if its avi that can to burnt using divx but you need a dvix compatiable dvd player if you dont have one you need to convert the avi to another format that the dvd will play ,go extract those files and email me if you have antoher file type and i can help you further



if the img file was what was unzipped go find a free copy or trial of nero right click on the img file and choose open with nero and nero should open to burn with a cd stick a cd in and hit burn.

Use winrar, you can download it for free. Then use something like nero burning rom to burn it on a dvd. Usually large files on the internet are devided into smaller pieces to download but they are a part of a set if one is corrupted it is useless. With winrar extract the first zip file, it will extract the rest of the set.

Answer 4

have you gor the winrar program? you first nead to unzip the rar file. Then you will need nero burning ron. If the file womes out as an iso then you just need to click on the file after installing nero and it should work automatically. If it comes with the video_ts and Audio_ts subdirectories then its a bit more complicated.

Let me know what the files are after you have run winrar and I will see if I can help

Answer 5

Ignore the msinfo and sfv files, sfv can be used to check the downoad for errors, you can open the msinfo file in notepad to see what it says.

What you have is a multipart archive you need to extract the file that ends .rar with an archiving tool (its a similar thing to .zip)

use http://www.extractnow.com http://www.7-zip.org or http://www.izarc.org All of these are free.

This will extract all the files at once.
