Hello,
I've just downloaded 8 split DivX videos, they are archived in WinRAR. Total size is 695MB.
The archived files are not XviDs , .avi or any other type of video, YET. Do they need to be renamed in Winrar or after extraction?
I also downloaded a MS-DOS Batch File, in edit it displays ->
Copy /b "Lsd.0"+"Lsd.1"+"Lsd.2"+"Lsd.3"+"Lsd.4"+"Lsd.5"+"Lsd.6"+"Lsd.7" "Lsd.divx"
Rename "Lsd.divx" "lsd and der.divx"->
What does this mean? How do I extract, and create one full video ?
Thanks to anyone that can help. Hope i'm clear enough in the explanation.
:aha:
They were split by a splitter program??
If this is the case then the extension you see is most likely unique to the splitter program in question, and you will need it in particular to rejoin.

Yes they were, Ive attempted to copy all archives and rename each clip inside....
ie; part 1, part 2 & so on.. the files are not playing in any player. Also they do not extrct to one full 700MB file, know why?
Each file is a part of the a 7695Megabyte video, but doesn't extract into one full compressed video in the process.
What role does the MS-DOS Batch File play in this ? and what does " Copy /b " mean in the MS-DOS edit page?
I went into Winrar and examined the files, they are named:
Type:
File0.divx
File1.divx
File2.divx
File3.divx
File4.divx
File5.divx
File6.divx
File7.divx
File8.divxThey should be Videoclip or XviD shouldn't they? The Windows Media Player design is on the thumbs in WinRAR ... if that counts for anything?
Sorry to draw it out, but what do you think the MS-DOC means by "Rename" ?
thx blackbill for the info.)

Renaming will not work. They need to be extracted (uncompressed) by winrar and then reconstructed back into the original file by what ever file splitter that was used originaly to do the split.
I don't know winrar very well, but if it houses the splitter in question then there should be an option in it somewhere to rejoin. If the splitter is not winrar, then you will need to get a hold of the splitter that was used and use the rejoin option.
At present, the files you have are not divx... they are sensless bits and bites that only the original splitter can understand and reconstruct.

I too am not familiar with WinRAR but you should be able to simply select the first file (in it's orginal formatted name)using WinRAR and choose to recompile it.
The instructions for making it a single file again are contained with in the first.

"Copy /b "Lsd.0"+"Lsd.1"+"Lsd.2"+"Lsd.3"+"Lsd.4"+"Lsd.5"+"Lsd.6"+"Lsd.7" "Lsd.divx"
If you remove all the double quotes. This is a DOS command that copies (combines) files 'Lsd.0-7' to a single file 'Lsd.divx'
I don't understand the 'rename' line.
Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

Thanks to blackbill, Bryan & ham30, As you can tell i am not up on splitting & archiving video, then extracting & rejoining.
Blackbill’s Response Number 3 is most right, the files inside their archive do not appear to be video, the file types are simply; file1, file2 etc…I now understand the correlation between splitter & extractor.
I will study up about extracting/splitting and archived video. If anyone else has the same problem, post a msg as I frequently browse this fine site.
-Thanks again to all-

Go to the command prompt and then go to the folder where those files are and type the following (all in one line):
copy /b File0.divx + File1.divx + File2.divx + File3.divx + File4.divx + File5.divx + File6.divx + File7.divx + File8.divx All.divx
That will combine all the files into one named 'All.divx'.

ham30,
Should I extract all files from their Winrar archive packs, they do not appear to be video files yet, or just leave the files packed?
if possible, can you give me more direction, regarding combining all the files.
"Go to the command prompt and then go to the folder where those files are" ....
Q.
When I enter command prompt, what do I input?
How do I "go to the folder where those files are"?
I tried your suggestion, but am unsure of the steps required to execute this sequence.
I think your suggestion is a great one, I can't execute it, please expain more specifically?
Appreciate your assistance, thanks very much.
:aha:

Yes, extract all the (filex.divx) files into a folder that you have created, for example 'c:\movie'.
Go to the command prompt (Start, Run, type cmd and click OK.
Type:cd c:\movie
copy /b File0.divx + File1.divx + File2.divx + File3.divx + File4.divx + File5.divx + File6.divx + File7.divx + File8.divx Movie.divx (on one line)You 'should' then have a file 'Movie.divx' which is a combination of all the other files.
You 'might' run into a problem playing it if you don't have a DIVX codec. I've never had a file with a DIVX extension, so I don't know what you need.
Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

Thank You Ham30.
I remember the hjsplit program that some use to split large files, so this was the program I used hjsplit needs the file extention to be .001 .002 etc.
Here are the steps I used:
1. In each individual WinRAR archived pack, rename the file inside to L.001, L.002 and so on...
2. Extract all files to a folder
3. Open hjslpit -> open the folder containing the extracted and newly named files.
4. click on the .001 file
5. START the join in hjsplit
6. after the joining has concluded CLOSE the program. Go to the folder containing the joined file (the file was named "L")
7. Right click -> Rename (add ".divx “) -> L.divx
I opened the program in MEDIA PLAYER CLASSIC.
Good ending , thanks to all who gave direction.
HELP :o
