Convert MDS to CUE

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

How to convert the file from MDS to CUE?

To successfully convert the MDS file to CUE, 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 CUE (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 CUE).

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 CUE. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting MDS files to CUE 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 CUE, 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 CUE file, or not.
