.mdf files

Post by Bluefalcon »

I am currently downloading a dvd and noticed that the files are .mdf and .mds but I have never heard of/come across these file types before.

Anyone had experience with them?. If so, how do I extract the actual files from them so I can watch it on my cpu? :unsure:

Deamon Tools, and you have to mount it as a virtual drive. And voila :) Play like normal dvd.
Or Alcohol 120% soft can help you out.

winrar should also extract these.
open winrar browse to the folder were they are located and click the extract to tab.
the file/s should appear in the folder you selected to extract to.

if that fails then
Alcohol 120- To burn or mount the MDS and MDF file

Doiso- To turn the MDS+MDF file into an iso
