Ok for Tensei Kunpu I downloaded the files and joined them but when I try to extract them with 7-zip it always says that it cannot open it as an archive....What am I doing wrong?

Right click the file and choose 7-Zip --> Extract Here. It will then ask a password. Paste or type it.

Seems like a codec problem, and in case you have x264 installed it seems that your computer cannot play x264 encoded files. Have you been able to watch other x264 encoded files of ours?

I have tried that but that message would still automatically pop up before I get a chance to type in the password

Re-install the program.
The archives are fine since I have downloaded, joined and extracted them myself.

I longer answer to tech help questions since it's tiring to repeat the same things over and over again. Also many questions are so simple they could be solved if a member bothered use google..

If your question is about video playback, x264, hardsubbing, 7-zip, Clubbox, soft subs vs hardsubs.. you can likely find the answer from FAQ or this thread.
