Compressing a large video file into a RAR archive reduces its overall size, making it faster to upload and download. It also simplifies the process of bundling additional files, such as subtitles or cover art, into a single package. WinRAR, 7-Zip, and various command-line tools (like unrar ) can be used to create or extract these archives.
A multi-volume archive is a single compressed file split into multiple sequential parts. The naming convention usually follows a strict pattern, such as filename.part01.rar , filename.part02.rar , all the way down to filename.part19.rar and beyond, depending on the total size of the payload.
