That's exactly it in one. I was ripping to an external FAT32 drive. My normal data drives are all NTFS, so I simply didn't stop to consider this. I guess the image will be re-assembled correctly when I select the .mds file to burn? Many thanks -- Ron

Hi, all. I'm ripping single-layer DVD+R data disks to ISO files on disk. I choose a filename, eg Image.iso. However, it does not create Image.ISO. It splits it, creating: Image.i01 at 4,194,302 KB; Image.i02 at 395,522KB and the .mds file. Why does it feel the need to do this? It's a single-layer original. ( Yes, I can change the option to 'never split'. But I thought the 'Auto' logic would have correctly identified a single-layer original. ) Will this split image correctly burn back onto single-layer blanks identical to the originals?
