  1. Lightning UK, Wow, quick response. You truly are a lightning! Anyway,let me dismantle what you said so I can absorb the information much more clearly. Also to give you more details, those multiple iso images are created from scratch, except the ones I extracted from my CD installers. I will burn them to an ordinary single-layer DVD+R and I am planning to put many iso images in a single disk as most of them are below 4gb in size. So based on what you said, I can safely delete those .mds files unless I use a Blu Ray disc? I use WinCDEmu to mount my iso files. I mounted my .iso file with and without the .mds file, and it was recognized as a CD disc (eventhough the description below is 'UDF'). I assume this is only normal because the iso file is around 300MB. So I guess based on this testing, I can safely delete the .mds file? UPDATE: I also tried mounting a 4GB iso file which I created with a diff. software, and WinCDEmu recognized it as a CD disk also. I guess it's WinCDEmu's thing to recognize everything as a CD disc. (I think the obvious answers to my inquiries are both 'yes', but I don't want to assume as I am not an expert on these matters. )
  2. Hi. I have read from many posts here that the .mds files are created by ImgBurn to ensure that the layer break of .iso files are properly executed once they're burned to DL discs. But mostly the users' concern deals with .iso files created directly from media discs. So pardon me if I seem stupid to be asking this. I create .iso files that contain data--various files from pictures to docs to programs I extracted from damaged CD installers. I'm planning to burn my .iso files on a single-layer dvd. Other times, I copy many .iso files in a single dvd which I can simply just mount when I need them (I burn those multiple .iso files via Windows DVD burner with the option to use the disc like a USB drive [to save dvd space and to spare my laptop from indexing too many files]). So I'd like to know if it's safe to delete those .mds files. Remember: I am not planning to burn them to a double-layer disc. My worry basically is once I burned those multiple iso files on a single disc, will they be read on other computers even without the .mds files.
