Unzip or unrar the files to a new folder and watch the resulting film with VLC, or Windows Media Player if you like, though you may need to update your codecs. If you need to, you will only get sound, or only video, or an error message saying you need new codecs. To do that, search for 'codecs' and find one of the all in one packs and install it.
To unpack them, highlight them all and choose 'extract' or 'unzip' or 'unpack' and select the folder you want them to go to.
If the unzipped files are not an 'avi file, but instead result in an .exe file, do not play it as it is a virus.

you use winrar or winzip to unpack them....winrar seems to be the popular choice of yahoo users
then you just play the movie in any player of your choice....you'll need the xvid codec though. Usually a good codec pack that contains the divx and xvid codecs will do the trick. Try to stay away from spyware/adware for that......lots of codec packs have adware included. Ace mega pack used to be a good option but since dvds got cheap i haven't been messing with the divx too much

46 zip files??
Someone is having a laugh!
The 46 files are a split archive, click on the first one and save to another folder, it SHOULD unpack them all in sequence!
You will need a DivX player, or VLC player to watch the video!

yes you will have to unpack all of the files to decode it you will need the Xvid decoder if you don't have this go to free codecs.com you will find every codec you need here once you have the Xvid codec you can play it on any media player
