They aren't rar/zip files at all... it goes like this—Ice.Age.2.The.Meltdown.avi.001

So, if I rename them to .avi, I can get them to run in Adobe Premiere, but I can't actually merge them together. And they won't play in anything else either—not VLC, not Windows Media Player, nothing.
Actually, Winamp tries to open them, but it just sits there spinning the play/stop button like it's stuck in a loop.
Anyone got a fix for this?

I already went ahead and renamed them, but I’ll give it another shot just to be sure. Thanks for the heads-up. Only issue is—and you know how this goes—it looks like they don't actually have that extension included.

Alright, can I throw one more question out there?

So, I’m downloading these eight AVI segments from a file-sharing site—you know the drill, they come split up as avi.001, 002, 003, and so on. When I try using File->Append AVI Segment and select the next chunk—which, mind you, I already renamed so it just ends in .avi instead of those little numbers—it hits me with an error: "Invalid avi file - not a riff file." It’s like the software is looking at it and just seeing gibberish.

Where do I go from here?
