    ImgBurn may be a little simpler for burning the image. Just drop the .mds file into the 'DVD Root' Directory line and click 'Burn'. There should have been a .mdf file in your un-rared folder, also. That's the video file that gets burned to disc. The .mds file is just the 'instructions' for the burning program. Those are Alcohol 120% image files, BTW.

    That format you describe doesn't sound right. There should be only one .mds (About 5K) and only one .mdf which would be the movie. .mds/.mdf files are more common for CD burning.

    EDIT: OK, I found an explanation. You should be able to select the .mds file and it should burn the whole thing as a single file. Just select the .mds file in ImgBurn as mentioned and let the program sort it out. The file may have been made on a FAT32 system with DVD Shrink and it split the ISO into 3 parts.
