Look at the top left of your screen - it reads "VideoHelp" for a good reason! Also, just so you can avoid getting other users annoyed, subject titles like "Help" or "Need advice" don't get very good answers and also are skipped by most users. It also makes searching the forums hard to do, as you will no doubt see when you try in the future. Also, CAPITALS are considered shouting! Rant over, time for some help!

Now, go to the top of the screen and run a search on "mds" on "All Forums". You should get 76 hits, and they should answer your question pretty quickly. Never underestimate the power of forum searches.

Here's a few links to get you started:

It looks like .mds files aren't well known on these boards - you'd be better searching elsewhere. From what I can see, Josef K is right - Alcohol 120% is your best bet.

This guide assumes you have Alcohol installed:

1. Put CD/DVD in drive
2. Start Alcohol, click Image Making Wizard
3. Follow steps
4. Say 'Hi' to new .MDS file

Pretty much the only software that produces this type of file is Alcohol. What are you trying to make an image from? A disc, other image type or files on your drive?
