HOW 2.O - EXTRACTING .rar ARCHIVED FILES

Hey All,

I searched the UnRarX site - http://www.unrarx.com/support.html - and the internet in vain for the step by step on how to extract .rar files using UnRarX - specifically for MAC. Since I couldn't find it all in one place, I have decided to post my successful attempt here and hope that it will help others.
  1. Download and install UnRarX.
  2. Open UnRarX.
  3. Drag and drop .rar file into the UnRarX window
  4. Depending on the size of the file you may find the following types of files: .nfo, .r00, .r01, .r02, .rar, .sfv, .txt
  5. Drag and drop the new .rar file into the UnRarX window
  6. This may take a while but the following files will appear: .bin, .cue
  7. Open the .cue file (on my OSX it opened Toast Titanium - otherwise it may open up your disk burning software)
  8. I dragged the .bin file into toast as well, but after understanding the process, it might not be necessary.
  9. Burn disc.
  10. Once disc is burned, eject it then put it back into your computer.
  11. Open the disc and presto, your files should be available for normal filing, copying, emailing, what ever your heart desires - legally!

I hope this helps.
