The new RARFileSource DirectShow filter.
Keep your media neatly organised in RAR archives?
Wish you didn't have to spend time unpacking them before playback? Try my new project: RARFileSource, instant playback of uncompressed multipart archives. Find it at http://www.v12pwr.com/RARFileSource/ Enjoy! /OctaneSnail Last edited by Guest; 14th December 2008 at 05:17. Reason: title typo |

Compressing already compressed files is absolutely ridiculous ...

If WinRAR or any other file archiver is able to reduce the size of your media files to less than 99%, then the audio/video encoder that was used to create these files failed horribly!
The only reason I can think of to store media files in RAR archives is integrity checking. That or a rule #6 violation

I actually think this is pretty awesome. It's also great that it's GPL and the source code is available, but there might be a problem there since some source code of UnRAR is included; from the sounds of it the license for UnRAR is not GPL compatible hence any projects that use it cannot be licensed under GPL.
Still, great work all the same. |

It's too bad the UnRAR source has such a lame license, or I would have used it to implement support for compressed archives. To my knowledge there is no GPLed unrar implementation compatible with v3 around. I wish I had the time to try to revive the UniquE RAR File Library (unrarlib) project. /OctaneSnail |

File sharing itself isn't illegal. It depends on what files you share! But what he describes is clearly is a voilation: Uploading copyrighted material to a public server...

But commonly "home video" refers to films and telemovies you buy on a VHS tape (or a DVD/BR disc nowadays) to watch them at your home. And such material is definitely copyrighted and you aren't allowed to share it. In almost no country on this planet... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Home_video

Good thing we aren't in a courtroom, indeed i assumed he meant "home video" in the term "my own created non copyright violating private content"

The wmv and asf formats are tricker since M$ in their infinite wisdom decided to make a combined source and splitter filter (WM ASF Reader) to handle them. I havn't yet investigated if there is a splitter only filter available that could be used in conjuntion with RARFileSource. /OctaneSnail |

Sorry, I should've been more clear. Yes, I meant that file sharing of copyrighted material like a movie is illegal.
