compressing rar???
12 Answers
It makes no sense to me but I have (i think) compressed my rar files via 7-zip, but what do I do now, still can't watch them on computer! Want to be able to wither put onto dvd or at least watch them via, VLC or windows media!

At the bottom of that pop-up window is a box titled Files Of Type and they are *.asf *.avi *.divx ...
The asf, avi, divx etc are the file extensions and let a program like VLC know what type of file it is without having to open the file to find out.

The rar files are the compressed versions and a viewer such as VLC won't display them, it's what you've extracted from them that should be the video files.
I don't think that I can help you because I'm not sure just what files you now have and I don't know how to succinctly ask in an exchange of postings for the info required to provide any help without it dragging on and on.
So you might want to consider re-posting the question afresh in case anyone can't be bothered to follow what's been written in this thread. Sorry to have wasted your time.

If they are rar files you will need something like Winrar to extract them and then they will play on VLC and possibly Media player if you have the correct codecs installed.
