    hi new to this i have just used dvd decrypter on one of my dvd ps2 game(1.2g)using the iso read mode.its created 2 files(on my hd)one is an image(1.2g)&the other is an mds file(32kb)i now would like to back it up proper on to dvd-r, but am not sure if i just need to copy the iso image file&ignore this mds file or what.im using 98se&have used decrypter before,but only to back up my dvd films,so this is all fairly new to me.i have looked through the forums to see if there are anythreads on this but not been able to find any,so any advise or links would be appericiated thanks

    Just set DVD Decrypter to Iso Write mode and then browse to and select either the mds file or the iso file itself.

    if the game is over 4gigs, 2 images will be created. You then burn the .mds file to link and burn both images. So, if the game is less than 4gigs, burning either will work.

    if you are using fat32 you cannot have files over 4gigs so 2 images will be made. If you are using NTFS only 1 image will be made.
