Wally3218 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 When I use Imgburn to creat a iso from a Dvd I end up with two Iso files one 4,387KB and a smaller one at 5KB What is the smaller iso file used for and do I need to keep it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 It wouldn't make the MDS file if there wasn't a reson for it being there. When you go to burn the image, that's the file you should be selecting (rather than the ISO itself). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally3218 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 Thanks for your reply What settings should I use to copy a Dvd to a iso file So I can play the iso on a media player and use the iso to burn a copy of the dvd later if needed.

LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 You don't need to touch any settings. Can your media player play ISO files? Anyway, that's not my concern as it has nothing to do with burning discs - and that's what ImgBurn is for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally3218 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Yes my meadia player does play iso files l'm using a WDTV Live which is great. I was asking help about creating iso files which imgburn does l also use it to burn dvd's too Edited July 28, 2010 by Wally3218 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 To make an ISO you just use Read mode - but I get the impression you've already done that... so I'm not sure what else you're asking?! I have a WDTV Live too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally3218 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thanks for your help LIGHTNING UK! I think I've worked it out as the iso's are playing ok. I just ignored and deleted the mds.files. One more question can I make a dvd with a iso without the mds.files Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Yeah you only really need the mds when burning or mounting in a virtual drive program. You can turn off mds creation in the settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
