Question about mds-file

[evgeny]

every time when i create iso-image(even single layer) Imgburn creates both iso- and mds-file.

1)what information does mds-file contain?

2)can i delete it without any further troubles?

3)can i make that imgburn doesn't create mds-file further to .iso?

It's also used when you mount the disc in something like daemon tools.

 

Look in the options if you REALLY can't physically stand to have an additional 2k file on your hdd.

p.s. i turned off creating this file in options. so, thanks.

'Working' and 'Working properly' are two different things. Without the MDS file daemon tools would mount them as an impossibly large single layer disc.
