I ripped Brothers in Arms Road to Hill 30 ans i got an .mds file and a rar file that is around 2.3 gb. Should i burn the rar file to the disk as is or should i unpack first? Thanks

It's not a rar file.. it's just that you have the .ISO extension assosciated with WinRAR.. just ignore it.

What you have to do is..

If using DVD Decrypter, select mode iso write and select the .mds file as your source file.. and burn on good media at 4x.

If using another burning program like Nero, select "burn image" and select the .ISO file as the source.. likewise as above for media and burn speed.
