What is MDS file?

MDS (.MDS) files are media descriptor files that are primarily associated with DAEMON Tools and work in conjunction with other files, such as .MDF, to create a virtual file system that can be used for file and data storage purposes. Such files contain the configuration information necessary for DAEMON Tools to properly mount the associated media descriptor file. [ ⏩ ] MDS file extension

What is CDI file?

The CDI file extension is used in DiscJuggler, a data-burning software used to create images of CD-ROMs. This type of file stores a disc image, which is an exact representation of the contents of the source disc in a single file. CDIs are the same as DCCs and C2D images, though CDI, DCC, and C2D are some of the most universally supported formats. The exact content of each CD image is stored in the CDI file.

How to convert the file from MDS to CDI?

To successfully convert the MDS file to CDI, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.MDS). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case CDI (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than CDI).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. MDS to CDI. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting MDS files to CDI files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension CDI, while before this step we had the MDS file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new CDI file, or not.
