mdf dvd solution

Hi all

I downloaded Spots port of mdf2iso and tried to convert a 4.3 gig mdf dvd image... the message I get is something like... this is already an iso

I downloaded the source from the host and compiled 0.3 of mdf2iso myself and even though my executable was 18k opposed to Spots larger one I get the same message

I came across a patch to enable large file support but I don't think that is the problem, since I don't get any message regarding this...

I can only conclude mdf2iso is only used for cdrom images

I've spent quite a bit of time trying to find an open source solution but had no luck... I tried to use diskimage but it didn't recognise the file as being valid... I guess that is cdrom only also?

anyway

I want an Amiga solution please, anyone?

thanks for any information/suggestions/interest

@Slayer

Try renaming the file extension to ".iso" and then using it with diskimage.device.

For converting image files I suggest using ISO-O-Matic instead since it has a nice GUI and also has large file support which none of these ported xxx2iso has.

*snap* I tried renaming it to that and then trying to burn it but didn't do that for diskimage. If that works for diskimage then I can make an image from the mounted iso/mdf. If I remember rightly, there is a utility that comes in that distribution that does this.

Great news, perhaps this will solve it all in anycase. Wonderful, two options to try tonight after work. Thanks very much salass00! much appreciated!
