If i remember correctly cdi files are image files made by discjuggler. You can either get discjuggler and burn with that or you can use daemon tools and mount the image and burn it that way. Some games are multi tracks so its not something you can fix, it's correct the way it is.

so in other words your telling me its ok then to have like 40 tracks on the first session which are audio then only 1 track in the second session that is mode 2 form one? i dont see how this is possible. please explain it too me. and another thing is some files that i go to burn are mds/mdf files. now what i am wondering is when i go to select the mds file and it says there are one track in session 1 which is the audio track and then the second session has one track which is the mode 2 from one and when i go to burn this it comes up an error or if it burns all the way through the game wont work on my dreamcast anyways. i have looked into this and some game have folders in the mds/mdf image files that have information in them. what do i do with those files? i have tred to put them all into just the iage and deleting the source of where they came from and then tryed to save it and it said error saving because the files were wrong or something like that. i don't know just please help me. thanks

It's been along time since I've burned a dreamcast games so this might not be 100% correct. Some games do have alot of tracks like you mention, off the top of my head I know for sure a game like that is Tomb Raider. Have you tried mounting the game with Daemon Tools? Then burning as if from drive to drive? Other then that I'm all out of ideas. It's been a very long time and I don't even have my dreamcast anymore. Sorry.
