dont know much about patching, but there are a lot of threads on it if you do a search. as for dvddecryptor, select either mds or iso because the program will automatically select the correct one. There is also a guide on how to use dvddecryptor.

Yah, best choice is to always use the .mds file when available.

you got a 50-50 chance. but if you pick the mds file, it will tell the burner how to burn the iso file. on the new version of dvddecryptor, pick either one (mds or iso) and the program will burn you a good copy regardless. If you kcuf up you only lose a dvd, but those are pretty cheap nowadays, and the learning experience is worthwhile.
