MDS File

[markavelli]

So uh, like the software..i think. I've now made 20 coasters trying everything. Just read a post under "bugs" about the MDS file i get along with my ISO's. I have one partition out of 5 that is a fat32, i'm aware of the warning but still it didnt tell me that I shouldnt bother until I change to NTFS. I can't seem to make it work even when i take video files from my other partitions (ntfs). I've read all the guides carefully. The disks work on my computer but not on either of my dvd players (they are compatible with the dvd +r I'm using). I downloaded another free dvd maker, clicked a couple buttons and it made the disk perfectly...simple...but it took absolutely forever. Getting to the point, Is my ONE fat32 partition ruining it for me? It will be a pain changing it over, and really i don't want to, but i will if i have to. I know I'm doing everything else correctly, unless you guys see something in the text below...

 

 

appreciate your help.

I reinstalled Imgburn on a ntsf partition and I still get MDS files along with my iso's, even though I'm making an image of files taken from an ntfs partition.

Right or wrong partition, you'll make 200 more coasters if you keep using this rubbish. Change to Taiyo Yudens or Verbatims.

You're making a 600mb DVD Video disc?!

 

I'm guessing you actually just have an AVI file rather than a VIDEO_TS folder - no wonder it doesn't work.

 

The other app would have perhaps converted it to DVD Video, ImgBurn is just a burning tool and doesn't convert anything.

 

FAT32 is not a problem at all. ImgBurn automatically handles everything it needs to regarding that.

I have never had any problems using FAT32 either, Always does as it's supposed to, Your disc's are not very good as pointed out, also you need dvd compliant files to burn to dvd and have it playback in a standard dvd player.

[markavelli]

Yep, thats it. I am Using AVI's. Oh well, i just assumed thats what making a ISO was for. Can anyone recommend a free AVI converter ?

Try this one: VSO DIVXTODVD Converter The bottom one of the three is the freeware version and the one I use, I think it was Shamus who pointed me towards it in the first place so credit to him.
