Just discovered this as an alternative/addition to using Nero and DVD shrink, but I'm a bit stuck with something.
Burnt something that worked fine, had two files, the CD image and another (something like .mdf and .mds) Or something like that.
Anyway I went to burn another thing that can only be done with alcohol apparently and only had one of the files (The .mdf One)
Is it still possible to burn it with just the one file?
How do I do it then?
If not how do I get the other file? Can I create one somehow?
Cheers if you can help. :-)

I've heard of it some people I know swear by it, dunno about your question though
.mds
Media Descriptor CD Image File
This file is used by several different programs. It generally is found with an .ISO CD image file and is the equivalent of what a .CUE file is to a .BIN image.
Program ID: AlcoholImageFile
.mdf
Alcohol 120% CD Image File
One of several CD image formats that Alcohol 120% can mount. Alcohol 120% is used for media backup.
You either had a .ISO & a .MDS, in which case you probably need both, otherwise you should just have a single .MDF which you can useon it's own. The file size should give you a hint.

No, you do usually get .mdf files with an associated .mds file. I've never acquired anything with a .iso anda .mds, but I have had .mdf and .mds

i knoew it was one or the other. In that case, he needs the .mdf and the .mds, though he should be able to get away with just the .mdf.
Can't you use Alcohol to mount the mdf to a virtual drive and than create a new disc image from that?

Its just the .mdf file I have, not sure if I can mount it to a virtual drive or not. Now that I'm home I'm going to see if UltraISO will convert it to an ISO and I'll use that or if I can get the .mds file for it from somewhere.
Yeah, you don't need the .mds file to mount it. Never was quite sure what you do need the .mds files for - I just delete them. Careful when converting .mdf to .iso recently. I did this recently only to find that the .mdf file had a bit more information than the .iso could store, and consequently my "product" wouldn't function. I think a .mdf mounted can better emulate a real cd or something
Mounted the file and it worked that way.
Thanks

Alcohol120% is God like.
The virtual drive system is fantastic.

Can't argue with that
