Archive Extractor is a small and easy online tool that can extract over 70 types of compressed files, such as 7z, zipx, rar, tar, exe, dmg and much more.

2. A RAR file is a compressed folder much like a ZIP file. You have to use a program like WinRAR to uncompress the folder. And put the contents into the folder into your mod directory. It'll look like this when you're done: '.mods PARTICULARMODFOLDERNAME ' and all the files go in there. Alternatively, the RAR could contain a.modpak file.

I have a 2GB RAR file that contains a 9GB video file. I'm using a FAT32 file system. Now I want to unzip that file but after 4GB I get an error due to the FAT32 file size limit.

Now I want to know that how I can extract that video? I know that one way is to convert my partition to NTFS but I don't want to follow that way.

I've also tried 7-zip but that again gives error after 4GB.

One other way is to split that file but I don't know how I can split a video file that is zipped.

So any idea please? How can I get rid of this problem.

Update:

For all those who think that it is not AVI File, or may be I'm misunderstanding it, or may be I'm not mentioning correct size or if they think that it is not possible to compress that much, I'm attaching image of that file. I hope it answers all those questions.

There is no way you can go over the 4GB limit of the FAT32 Filesystem, because FAT32 imposes this limitation by design. This file system has a natural limitation for the maximum file size it can handle, which is 4GB.

And yes, I haven't found any tool that splits the video file while unzipping it.

The solution to this if you do NOT want to convert to NTFS is:

• Get an external drive with NTFS filesystem on it.

• Extract your Video file there.

• Then use a video splitting software to split it in multiple parts, and then copy those to your FAT32 filesystem.

You can try to play the RAR (sic!) file with VLC media player. It does have internal support for RAR. This would only work if your RAR is not encrypted. I do not know the internals of VLC's implementation but I think VLC does not create temporary files, then this might work.
EDIT2: will not work with compressed archives, but should work with multi-volume RARs.

EDIT:
But if you want access the real file and playing it is not enough:Mount the RAR file with WinMount http://www.winmount.com as a virtual drive.
EDIT2: Does not work, stops after about 4GB (tested by asker)

EDIT3:
OK I just remebered that Microsoft Virtual PC can do multi-volume VHDs on FAT32. Related: http://www.k2underground.com/blogs/blacktop/archive/2009/06/26/microsoft-virtual-pc-and-fat32-disks.aspx
Just keep in mind that you cannot use these VHDs without MS Virtual PC. To use or open them with other software they have to be joined first.Its a little overkill just to open a file but you might try it. I have however not tested this on my new Windows 7 PC only on my older PC with WinXP.

You can boot a linux live distribution and mount your file system. Then run

That way you end up with the split file video on your FAT partition. I have no clue if any player is able to actually display the file.

10 min. Screencast? It's probably badly encoded (or maybe even not at all).

Why not reencode while unzipping? It won't require external drive. For 10 min. you could possibly end up with a file of around 100mb in size.

Assuming Windows Command Line you could try:

The unrar p instructs rar to print the content to STDOUT. Than it's read back by FFmpeg -i -. The ^ characters are line break escape characters from Windows .bat file format.

You can get FFmpeg from Zeranoe FFmpeg Builds site. For simplicity pick the static one.

FAT32 does not support files larger than 4 GB, so you can't create files larger than that on any FAT32 filesystem. Which operating system do you use? On Windows you can convert FAT32 to NTFS on the fly by using convert.exe (replace D: with your actual drive letter):

Edit: Quoting from the aforementioned MSKB article about convert.exe:

Note Although the chance of corruption or data loss during the conversion is minimal, we recommend that you perform a backup of the data on the volume that you want to convert before you start the conversion.

You could use Partition Magic, which allows you to repartition drives without destroying data, so you create a 12gb ntfs partition, unzip your file then recode it with ffmpeg or another recoding tool back to your fat32 partition then return the 12gb working partition to the fat32 drive... long winded, but should work

It's completely impossible to create a file larger than 4GB in a FAT32 volume. The only way to solve your problem is

1. convert your partition format to exFAT or NTFS or some other format which support large file
2. treat your rar file as a stream -- this maybe possible in theory but I don't know any implementation of this.

The best nd only answer is no. you cannot, reason -->the creator of FAT32 filesystem have implemented that limitation on the maximum size of file it can handle(4GB).

Though many of users have answered it before, the only thing i can add is that means other than converting your drive to NTFS or copying that file to a pen drive formatted in NTFS system nd then extracting, cannot work, because it is the OS that keeps the data in temporary files/locations/folders for temporary purpose, which cannot again cross the 4GB limit.

Easiest way is to buy a pen drive and uncompress your data on it.

You can convert your FAT32 to NTFS without loosing your data by the following methods for your 4gb transfer

On Windows,

• click Start --> Run
• type in cmd
• then type convert c: /fs:ntfs (depending on your drive name, in my case C:)

For this to run you need to unmount the disk which you want to convert. For this just reboot the computer and do nothing else other than try to convert the file system. If you still get that error, reboot into safe mode and do it again. The conversion doesn't actually happen right then. It will reboot the computer and then run the conversion process before the OS proper loads.
