ISO vx MDS

[pdk]

I was hoping to use imgBurn to create ISO images from my DVD's and then use microsofts virtual cd/dvd controller to mount them and be able to watch movies from my HD that way. I can't seem to figure out how to create an ISO image file. could someone help me know which options to select in order to do that. Also, is there a way to mount the MDS file and play the movie directly from that?

 

TIA

ImgBurn will not read/rip or mount any protected/encrypted dvd's

Read mode is all about creating ISO images - that's it's sole purpose in life.

 

If you're NOT getting an ISO, it's probably because you're making the image on a drive using the FAT/FAT32 filesystem - whereby the image must be split into 4GB sections or the computer blows up (kidding).

 

The MDS is then used to join (virtually) the two back together (in software that supports MDS files).

 

For people using NTFS for the file system on their hard drive, the program will create an ISO and then an MDS if it thinks it needs to (i.e. for double layer discs where the layer break position is then stored in the MDS).
