How to Open and Burn mdf and mds Files to CD or DVD?
Contributed by MickeyMouse 
Tagged: Windows mdf and mds files are frequently seen on torrent networks. To burn these files, you’ll need special software packages.
- mdf and mds files are types of CD and DVD image files. Only certain software packages will read and burn these types of files.
Alcohol-Soft http://www.alcohol-soft.com/ (Trialware)
Daemon Tools http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/download.php (Freeware)
Install the software and select the mds file. The mds file basically contains the information the software needs to burn the mdf image file.
Both of these software packages will either allow you to run the image file from a simulated CD/DVD drive… or it will allow you to actually burn the image to a real CD/DVD disc.

I downloaded both alchohol and deamon tools onto my computer but non of these softwares give me the option “burn image”

hey man you can use demon tools to creat an image (.mds) file by right click on the icon in the tray near the time and select disc imaging
then it will open a window choose the destion where u want to creat it and then click start
after that it wil be done you will see 2 file : (.mdf) & (.mds)
always use the (.mds) to burn especialy if you want to burn ps2 games
