I'm sorry I know this has been posted before,but I can't seem to get a clear answer.When using dvd decryter,do I burn the iso or the mds file.Or will either one work as good as the other?

If you have an mds file then select that.. if not select the iso file. Generally speaking it shouldn't matter which one you use.. but it depends on your computer's hard drive and what format it is.. for most people they can choose either as they're probably using the NTFS format. For some people that are still using the FAT32 format they would need to select the mds file for definite as the FAT32 format cannot handle files over 2GBs in size.. so when you create an iso with dvd decypter and a FAT32 system it would split the .iso file into 2 parts.. the mds file then would tell the burner how to merge those 2 parts to create one iso onto disc.

hope that helped
