What is RARFileSource?
RARFileSource : Ever wished your favorite video player could play your downloads without you
In depth
A closer look at RARFileSource
RARFileSource is a DirectShow filter that let's most video players read RAR files on the fly. The only restriction is that the video must be stored without compression, this is fortunately the norm since WinRAR doesn't do a very good job on video anyway. Start your video player, load a RAR file and enjoy! If your player already has a feature to automatically unpack RAR archives before playback remember to disable it first. No more waiting! If the archive contains multiple media files you'll get a simple file selector.
