hello. I got several discos form a friend who packaged a big video file into 9-volume RAR archives on his Windows PC. That is, 9 discos each contain only one file. When I receive the discos, the first of the 9 discos are lost. So I only have 8 files now copied to my hard-disk. Furthermore my friend did not keep a copy himself, thus the 8 files are everything we have so far. unrar complain a file is missing and quit, as expected. So is there a way to recover this video file, even partly? I know player like mplayer can play the video as much as is left. I would be happy to see if only a fragment of the video is preserved. It would be easier to recover if he did it with gzip, as I am more knowledgeable with that format, but he uses WinRAR... I tried to google a bit only finding some Windows sharewares that supposed to recover RAR file, no Linux solution mentioned. I managed to reboot to Windows and try one of the sharewere, which I found it report any file (tested a few) to be recoverable and ask me to pay to recover it, so I hesitate to buy it. What do you recommend me to do? Thanks in advance. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
