Thanx Mike, your always seeming to want to help, no matter what the subject but KMPLAYER is only PC based.

where did the file come from that you are trying to open.?
RAR is usually associated with cell or ipod stuff.

Try using winrar from rarlab.com.

I have a Mac and use a program called UnRarX to open up .rar files. Found it for free through a google search.

winrar will open rar files up.

Rar is a compression format just like zip. You need to use a program such as Winrar to extract the movie file. Then it will likely be in a standard format for you to play.
