ReScene

ReScene is software developed to backup and restore metadata from RAR files found in torrent websites. It is a command-line utility that was created to support the x264 community, and requires Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or greater to run. RAR files contain the file information and the metadata that describes the file – i.e. file names, attributes, and dates – that support some of the compressed file’s features. The metadata may be important when decompressing the file into the original for authenticity verification, comments, and recovery records. ReScene creates backup for RAR files with the complete metadata that will allow users to re-create the original RAR file. It features an automatic CRC (checking during reconstruction) that performs data checking against the CRC value from the RAR header when they are built. Automatic CRC validates the data inside the RAR and warns users if the file being reconstructed is corrupt. ReScene can be used on files created with Store mode.
