CRC Errors In RAR Files
First of all, you need to bypass the CRC check when extracting the files. My solution is to completely ignore all the errors.
What you must do is go to WinRAR in the Start Menu. In winrar you click File -> Open and then select the files you want to unrar. Then you click the “Extract To” icon and check the box that says “Keep Broken Files” under miscellaneous. Any CRC error windows that show up during the extraction you can just ignore and close them. The resulting extracted file worked just fine.
The problem with winrar is when you open a broken rar file, it gives you a warning that the rar is broken and rar creates the folder with no file in it. This is the default setting of winrar but you can change it to open broken, corrupted or partially downloaded file (specially media files which you can plan on VLC media player)
This is what you have to do -
1. On the rar file, right click and click on Extract Files …
2. It will show you a window where you can select the folder where the file should be saved. Now select the checkbox where it says Keep Broken Files (see the below image)
Then click on OK. Now as usual if its a partial file or broken file, winrar will again give you warning, just cancel it. Once the operation gets over, you should see the partial file or files which winrar was able to extract. This tricks works really well on movie files which are broken into parts, you can download the first part of the movie, extract it to see the quality of it and to decide whether you should download the full movie or not. It also works well for multiple files rar achieve as winrar may be able to extract many files.
Unfortunately if there is a single standalone file which is in corrupted rar file, you will be able to get much from it. You can try to repair the rar file but I have never seen it working. Also note that if you have a middle part of the rar, say 2nd or 3rd part of a three part rar archive you won’t be able to get anything as the meta information of every rar file is in the first part.
How to join files
HJSplit Tutorial
Since pretty much all of our movies have been split into parts, and many people are wondering what to do with the parts, I have created a tutorial how to join the parts into an .avi, mp4, mkv, video using a program called Hjsplit. Hjsplit only works on windows, so if you have another operating system, take a look HERE.
HJSplit doesn’t need to be installed. you can run it directly by clicking on Hjsplit.ext. Before you start, Remember that all the parts (.001, .002, .003, .004, etc ) have to be in the same folder, and they have to have the same name but has different extension (.001, .002, .003) or else it won’t work.Make sure you have all the files to join. If one is missing, you will not be able to complete the process…
To join all the parts, open HJSplit and click on ‘Join’. Click on Input File and choose the .001 file
The second wizard screen in the joining .001, .002, … files is where you will point the input file for joining the file parts.
Note that, you will only select the file with extension .001 and the HJ-Split will automatically find the other parts (like .002, .003, .004) if they are in the same folder with .001 file.
After the input file is selected, HJSplit will display the output file, the joined file outcome of the software in the screen in output text area.
By clicking on the Output area, you can change the location of the output file if you want.
Click on the Start button to start joining process.
When the joining splitted files with extensions 001,002,003,….,008,etc finished the HJSplit software will inform you.
Click on the Close button to end the task of joinning spitted files 001,002,003 with HJSplit file splitting program.
I hope you liked HJSplit manual demonstrating how to join files HJSplit divived into parts in smaller sizes.
It is very easy and fast to use HJSplit to join files with 001 extension.
