Tar -xvjf itunes20140618.tbz itunes20140618/videoThat should do it for this case, but if you need more help do: info tarTo extract specific archive members, give their exact member names asarguments, as printed by -list (-t). If you had mistakenlydeleted one of the files you had placed in the archive collection.tarearlier (say, blues), you can extract it from the archive withoutchanging the archive's structure. Its contents will be identical tothe original file blues that you deleted.First, make sure you are in the practice directory, and list thefiles in the directory. Now, delete the file, blues, and list thefiles in the directory again.You can now extract the member blues from the archive file`collection.tar' like this: $ tar -extract -file=collection.tar bluesIf you list the files in the directory again, you will see that the fileblues has been restored, with its original permissions, datamodification times, and owner. (These parameters will be identicalto those which the file had when you originally placed it in thearchive; any changes you may have made before deleting the file fromthe file system, however, will not have been made to the archivemember.) The archive file, collection.tar, is the same as it wasbefore you extracted blues.
You can confirm this by running tarwith -list (-t). An archive like a.zip,.rar or.7z consists of many files bundles together and compressed. A.tar archive consists of many files bundled together, but the tar format does not include any compression.
A.gz,.bz2 or.xz file is a single compressed file. A.tar.gz,.tar.bz2, etc. Is a compressed archive;.tbz is a suffix that is occasionally used instead of.tar.bz2, just like how.tgz is sometimes used instead of.tar.gz.bzip2 -d /tmp/itunes20140618.tbz uncompresses the file. You're left with the uncompressed tar archive. Bzip2 doesn't create a tar: it decompresses what is given to it, and since it is given a compressed tar, the output is an uncompressed tar. You can untar the resulting file with tar -xf /tmp/itunes20140618.tar. To extract just one file, that's tar -xf /tmp/itunes20140618.tar itunes20140618/video.Reasonably recent versions of tar on Linux, FreeBSD, MINIX3 and OSX automatically detect compressed archives, so you can call tar in the first place without worrying about the compression used on the archive: tar xf itunes20140618.tbz itunes20140618/videoOlder versions of tar, as well as many systems today such as OpenBSD, Solaris and Linux with BusyBox, can at least call bzip2 under the hood even if you have to tell them explicitly with the -j option.

My comment above was to point out that you seem to justify using Windows for game-playing, but that this is Usenet.
