Forget about UnrarX - it is unreliable. MacParDeluxe also includes an
Unrar utility built in which is solid and very reliable. If encryption
used RAR segmentation like they do in the hollywood movies groups rather
than split raw data segments as is more common in these groups then
MPD would automatically stream one process into the next and would
pause only to ask for the RAR password in the process. As it is done by
encryption you must follow a 2 or 3 step extraction process:
1) Use MPD to par check the files.
2) Use Split&Concat to join the segments into a single RAR file
(MPD will automatically start up S&C for you but for some reason
this gives an error on my system lately - probably just my system).
3) Use MPD to extract the movie from the joined RAR archive.
(Type Cmd-U then use the resulting navigation dialog to locate the
RAR file to be extracted. Do not drag the RAR file onto MPD).
