I think you'll find that a lot of people will disagree with you there.
I generally prefer videoclips to be downloaded as they are, and not in a rar-file, but if the clip is too large for the host, then it's better with rar than things like HJ-Split if the file needs to be split anyway. I also prefer rar for multiple clips and for multiple images, as it makes it easier to catalogue and order the files.
So for the above reasons I think that rar-files are here to stay, and you'll just have to live with missing out on that. You also state that you're not really computer savvy, so you're probably not aware of the fact that even if you choose to view the clip directly instead of saving the file to the harddisk (I assume you choose "open file" instead of "save to harddisk" when prompted), the file is still saved to your harddisk, but in the folder for temporary internet files. It can stay there until deleted depending on your settings.
