Mdf is the format used to create an optical disc image. It is needed to make accurate lint without data loss. Subsequently, the mdf format can be converted. How can this be done?
Instructions
Step 1
Rename the mdf file to iso. This is for simplicity and ease of use. It will not be possible to do this manually, so download and install on your personal computer applications designed to burn discs and work with their images. The most popular are Nero and Alcohol. After that, open the installed program and do the following.
Step 2
Select all files with the mdf extension, hold down the left mouse button and drag them into the working field of the program. Then find the "Convert to iso" button. Click it. Conversion time depends solely on the size of the files. As a rule, it does not exceed half an hour. The result will be an iso file that you can use at your own discretion: rewrite the image to a laser disk, use additional software to install information on your personal computer, etc.
Step 3
Ask your friends for help. If for some reason you cannot convert the mdf file, ask for help from comrades who are more experienced in this matter. But this is an extreme case. Correctly install the necessary software on your personal computer, activate it in accordance with the terms of the license agreement and convert images from one format to another. By and large, the mdf and iso formats are not that different.
Step 4
Think about it, does it make sense to convert mdf? Images of the same disk in these two formats take up the same amount of space on the hard disk, are used by the same applications, the only difference is that the iso is read a little faster due to the fact that it is better structured. But again, this difference is not that significant.
Step 5
Do not run too many files for conversion, this may cause the software to malfunction, or the process will take too long. Convert groups of up to 5-10 files depending on the specifications of your personal computer.
