GameJack virtual CD or DVD image
File type: Disk image (ISO) binary file
A file with the xmd file extension is a CD or DVD image created for GameJack, older Microsoft Windows software.
The image stores the contents of optical media for use with GameJack's virtual drives. GameJack is no longer supported.

GameJack created virtual CD and DVD drives so users could access computer games without inserting the original disc. It could also emulate various CD and DVD copy-protection systems.
An xmd file is part of this disc-imaging workflow and contains an image of a CD or DVD. CDRWIN is also associated with this file type.
GameJack is no longer supported, and the format is mainly encountered in older Windows software and archived disc images.
On Microsoft Windows, open or mount the xmd file with GameJack. CDRWIN may also open or work with GameJack images.
Because GameJack is discontinued, a compatible installation may be difficult to obtain and may not run correctly on current versions of Windows.
Compatible disc-imaging tools may be able to export xmd files to other formats.
If the image can be mounted or read, its files can be copied to another disc or storage medium. A compatible disc-imaging program may be able to create an ISO image from the mounted or readable source, but copy-protection data and other GameJack-specific features may not be preserved.
File type category:
Plugin, addon file
Date updated: October 20, 2026
The xmd file extension is associated with the BitDefender, antivirus software for Microsoft Windows and other platforms, developed historically by SOFTWIN and now by Bitdefender.
An xmd file contains a plugin for BitDefender. It forms part of the software installation rather than serving as a user-created document or a general-purpose data file.
The files are normally managed by the antivirus software and should not be edited manually.
An xmd file is intended to be loaded by BitDefender, not opened as a standalone document. Keep it in its original location and allow the software to use it.
If the file is not recognised by Windows, that is expected. Do not rename or edit it; reinstalling or updating BitDefender may restore a missing or damaged plugin file.
A BitDefender xmd file cannot be meaningfully converted to another format. It is an internal plugin file, not a document or media file intended for export.
To use the plugin with BitDefender, retain the original file or obtain the appropriate file through a BitDefender installation or update rather than using a file converter.
