I have tried to backup "CARS" and "Ghost Recon" and had a few problems.
I have DVD decryptor set to ISO read when I rip the original and ISO write when I want to burn it to my Memorex DVD+R.

I usualy get an .ISO file and a .MSD file after it's done ripping. Is this correct?
How do I burn both files as DVD decryptor will only allow me to choose one, either the .ISO one or .MSD

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

The .MDS file is a small meta file that contains description information about the associated ISO. The .MDS file contains the layer break (for dual-layer backups) as well as other helpful information regarding burning. It is not an ISO file nor can a .MDS file be converted into a ISO. You must have the ISO; however, you can usually have an ISO without a .MDS file. To answer your question, when burning, I always burn from the .MDS file if there is one. Choose the .MDS as a matter of habit.
