File extension MDS - Alcohol 120% Image file (media descriptor file) format
What is .mds file?
The MDS file extension is associated with Alcohol 120%. An MDS file is an optional media descriptor file that can be generated when you create a disc image from a CD or DVD. The format is a binary file with the ASCII identifying characters "MEDIA DESCRIPTOR" appearing in the beginning of the file.
The MDS file contains metadata about the original media, specifically the position of the layer breaks or layer breach bit, a property of the copy protection feature of many DVDs. An MDS file is then used in conjunction with its related disc image (MDF) to re-create the DVD.
MDS file can be created by optical disc imaging applications. The MDS file format is mainly used by the Alcohol 120% application, but some other disk and emulation tools are using it. Its a favourite image format for backup exact copies of original game disc.
