7zip - How to extract/join

7zip is another software for splitting, joining and extracting files. It can be used to extract .zip and .rar file, and also can be used to join .001 files. This is a freeware version of software, no need to buy or find keygen/crack or what so ever. You can install this software and you don't need HJ Split and Winrar. This is the example of 7zip archive files, split into 4 parts. Again, the first 3 files have the exactly same size, just like winrar archive files or HJ Split.

Basically, how to use this software is about the same with Winrar. Just right click the file or the first file and scroll your cursor to 7zip and you can select 'extract here' to extract it. Refer this screenshot:

In the example, the file is password protected so we need to key in the password. It'll ask for the password right after we select 'extract here'. This is the box where you need to key in the password.

Just type the correct password and click 'ok'. The extracting process will start right after that. Here is the screenshot showing the progress of the extracting process.

It will take some time depending on your PC specification. After the process is completed, you'll get a new movie file and you can enjoy it.

The screenshot in this post is for a 7zip file but the step for joining .001 and extracting .rar/.zip file is exactly the same. For 7zip files, we still can used HJ split and Winrar but we need to join it first, and then extract it before we can watch it. Better use this software (7zip) because we only need to do it once. Furthermore, if the file is password protected like in the screenshot, then you need to enter the password 4 times to extract it using Winrar after joining it using HJ Split. With this software, you can save a lot of times.
