Thank you BSPeter for reminding that now I know much more things about video files, codecs, BSPlayer, containers, archives and many more things than two and a half years ago. :oops:

At that moment, BSPlayer didn't have RAR support. And at that time I didn't know about the 15 MB volumes. :) And of course, even RAR itself isn't the same. Now you don't need all the archives to play the file inside As you may see, I've replyed only about archieving problem at that time.

But the problem is elswhere. Even if you see the file inside the archive, playing it is harder. Not same thing like playing an incomplete file (wich function doesn't work in BSPlayer even it should be), but worst, because you don't have any information on the piece of file you have, let's say into 15th archive. So you must search for a key frame and start decoding from there. But you will also need a movi block file...and things get really complicated.

But, hey, one may wish :D
