There's this VLC Player plugin i found thats pretty handy for people with slow computers (e.g. long extraction time). Its a plugin for VLC (make sure you have version 1.01) which allows streaming playback of temporary extracted material from .rar archives. In other words, no need to extract. Warning: HD movies might lag a little, so if you want to have a good experience watching them, extract them, then watch them with WMP Classic.
