Sorry bother y'all, but this has been driving me batty for a couple of months, and I haven't been able to find data anywhere.
Does par2cmdline work with split files (.001 etc.)?
It says
"
There are 1 recoverable files and 0 other files.
The block size used was 192000 bytes.
Therea re a toral of 1422 data blocks.
The total size of the data files is 272869376 bytes.
Repair is required.
1 file(s) are missing.
You have 0 out of 1422 data blocks available.
Repair is not possible.
You need 1137 more recovery blocks to be able to repair.

Some ppl have been posting files like these lately on the Usenet. It is terribly confusing. We usually let another tool such as rar, zip, 7z, etc., create the sequence-numbered files because those tools would know how to connect the data back to the finished movie file.
With the way things are in these kinds of posts, tho, there are two ways around this dilemma.

(1)
This first way might be easiest if you have plenty of disk space. Run "cat" on all the sequence-numbered files in that order, piping the output to a filename based on these filenames but without the sequence numbers. The run par2cmdline as usual.
An example with your list as shown would be to run "cat" like this, assuming your file system & shell will sort the filenames when glob-characters "*" and "?" are expanded (MacOSX HFS+ does this automatically):
(yes the ?? needs to go outside the "double-quotes")
If the filenames are not in sorted order from this, then you'll need to include the filenames manually in your "cat" cmd.
Then run par2verify or par2repair as usual from inside this subdir.

The par2repair function can build the missing file automatically if you include _all_ files on the cmd-line. This might be slower than the first method above.
An example of this would be:
par2repair *.par2 *
just like that, the *.par2 must come first (might need to be capitalized in some situations). It will 'see' the sequence-numbered files now, and hopefully there will be enough data blocks in them, together with enough par2 repair blocks (if needed), to build the missing final file, just as the "cat" method above would do.

Both methods have worked for me. I usually use the first method myself.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
