HI THERE !!!!

I am curious about some posts that i read about burning the .mds file after backing up with dvd decrypter.

I get 2 files:one .iso and one .mds; the iso file is about 4GB and the .mds file is only 4 KB. i havnt tried it but i think it's a bit silly to burn a dvd with only 4 KB in it.

Can somebody ansewr me plz?

It's like a Cue file for a Bin file, the smaller file does not hold the DVD i think it's just instructions for the burning software.

make sure the mds file is in the same folder as the iso, then just choose the mds file and it will auto do everything and it will go to 4gb if u know what i mean.

I didn't burn the .MDS and i was fine. As p4_tt said, it just like the cue except it's not needed.

u should still choose the mds file because i think its better, anyway thats the way u should burn most games but some games need rebuilding, god of war,gt4 and a couple other i think.
