    I have heard people say that mdf is an Alcohol file, yet when you use Alcohol's "Image Finder" mdf is not listed as an Alcohol file. My mdf is 856,294 KB, I have a 1KB mds file for it, but when I use the mds file to burn with Alcohol vs 1.9.2, I get a coaster, a disc that is seen as empty by my drive. What gives

    .MDF is an Alcohol image file but, sorry, a .MDF needs its .MDS file (like .CUE/.BIN) and the .MDS file is not ASCII like a .CUE: you cannot write a new one from zero. Maybe searching from where you got the .MDF?

    I have the mds file that goes with the mdf file, but it still produces a coster.

    I would like to know is there any program out there that can rip out the contents of these .mdfs like ISOBUSTER does for .bin & .CUE files?
    I want to be able to physically check the contents before burning to a disc.

    TIA BC

    You can just mount the files with DaemonTools of course there isnt really a need to do so because MDS/MDF files are typically made by people who know what they're doing :)

    Hi,

    Alcohol 120% is good for burning MDS/MDF :)
