• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I recently recieved a video from a friend which is slip into 5 parts, entitiled
"video".rar "video".part2. rar, "video".part3.rar, etc. These videos are also passworded. When i open the first file with stuffit and type in the password it shows me a bar which fills and then it asks for "video".r00, which i dont have. when i choose "video".part2.rar it wont accept it and will sometimes crash. How do i handle this problem and uncompress the video?

i would try renaming the .rar files, starting with the second one .r00, .r01. etc. If that doesnt work, you can always change em back. Thats what i would try.

Apologies, misread the post. Didn't notice he had recieved it from a friend.
Try using a different program to unstuff it, like The Unarchiver.
