On http://www.dvdboard.de/forum/showthread.php?t=121319 are links to 19 RAR archives, plus md5, plus a .sfv file that contains a list of the 19 files with what looks like checksums, that I downloaded. I am instructed there only in German, which I do not read nor speak, to use Windoz to reconstruct a service DVD required to fix my DVD recorder. Using 'unrar -l *.rar' I am told 0 files (and only in volume 1). Using 'unrar -t *.rar' I am told No files to extract. Using 'unrar -l pioneer_service.partNN.sfv' I am told not RAR archive. Can anyone tell me how to extract an iso from these files using Linux? -- "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control."   Proverbs 29:11 NIV

"rar x file.part1.rar" o "unrar x file.part1.rar" should do it. Regards, -- Ciro Iriarte http://cyruspy.wordpress.com -- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

rar e pioneer_service.part01.rar or rar e pioneer_service.part1.rar (depending on which set you've downloaded) The .sfv is just a list of URLs for some download tool so that you don't have to manually get + wait at rapidshare etc. Feel free to ask for more translation/explanation.

'unrar x pioneer_service.part01.rar' got all 19 correctly built into the original .nrg file, which nrg2iso converted to an .iso that K3B was able to make into a good DVD. I wonder why the t and l options failed? Are they only good when the original file wasn't split into multiple smaller .rar files?

Have you tried 'rar t FIRST_PART_OF.rar'? (or with 'l') AFAIR, that should work as you'd think. Though normally, at least with 't', you should have seen some "OK" or so scrolling by when your *.rar expanded to the first part. Mind though, that split rar archives also come as .r00 .. rNN files ... In any case, you "give" rar the first part as an argument, any further parts are somewhere in the archive part headers as "next part" or some such and looked for automatically (mind upper/lowercase, you might have to rename following parts). Oh, and 'unrar' has limited functionality (e.g. it at least did with password-protected archives), in case of doubt and/or errors, try 'rar' with the appropriate command [and switches]. And one more thing: try to remember to use 'rar e' over 'rar x' (instead of unrar), the first extracts to the current directory (with relative paths), the latter with full paths, which might be unwanted. I don't know what the default of unrar is, hopefully equivalent to 'rar e'.
