The MDS contains info about how your PC handle the iso file. It's like a written set of directions for your burning software. Even when you load the mds into DVD Decrypter, it still burns the iso. Technically it doesn't really matter, it's just better to burn the mds file if it's present. Sometimes when you download a game, it will only come with an iso file. In that case, it's okay to load the iso file into DVD Decrypter.

No you need to find the DNA ID and patch that. It'll look like DNAIMG000, something like that.

20. Q. What are DNA's?
A. Any game made after 2003 for the PS2 that is online playable contains one or more image files that has a "disk
DNA checker." The online game server checks your game disk to see if it's the real thing or not. Thus, you have to discover which .img file on the game disc has the checker file.

21. Q. How do I patch DNA's?

22. Q. Where can I find DNA ID's?

You did the right thing man. You're suppose to choose the MDS file to burn. Actually the MDS is a small file (it has all the info and it instruct DVD Decrypter) to burn it right. It is wise and very useful to burn the MDS file, even with DL burning (that's the sh!t you want to choose when doing DL backups).

Live and learn.
