Just as the title says.

I've posted in the Software forum but no one has been able to help.

Heard Alcohol 120% should do the trick but it is only good for .mds image files. What what I am really looking for is a Nero plugin that will allow this. Does one exist? If so, where?

Thanks! :beer:

I can't be the first one to ever want to do this.

What does .mdf stand for or mean anyway?

I knew it sounded awefully familar, but couldn't put a finger on it.

Yes, you are correct. However, it must also have another meaning because apparently cd images can be made using this extension. Apparently, it is like a .bin file and usually has another file to go along with it like .cue but that second file in not necessary and I do not have the .mds file in this case.

Just do a google search on "Burn .mdf" and you'll see what I am referring to. Unfortunely, I haven't found a solid solution.

use that program to convert MDF to ISO then burn it.

BTW I used your search term to find that page.

Maybe try a new version of alcohol 120?
Can you mount the image in alcohol 120's emulator and run it?
