Please add support for multi-file rar archives, I noticed vlc will open one rar at a time, but wont do multi-file archives, it would be great if it did. Please Please add support for this, it would be nice since then you wouldn't have to extract the archives, like xbmc does it, since xbmc is open source maybe u could just use some code from it lol... ahhaha just kiddin dont know how that --please stay polite-- works, but if u add the feature, thanks in advance.

Also thanks for the current vlc software its very nice, I love it, Kudos to all of the vlc team.. thanks .. ez

it's not like it can stream from the rar file or load the 700 videos to memory. If it does add that feature it would still have to extract to a temporary directory anyway and it would still take awhile. 7zip uses the zlib compression library, and if it can't extract multiple rars neither can vlc.

Use search.
