How to open MDF file?
What is MDF file extension?
MDF is an extension given to files used to store optical CD and DVD images. Images from such media are usually backup copies and in case of damage or loss of a disc you can burn a new one using the MDF file. These files are supported by most disc burning or emulation programs, but are most often associated with the Alcohol 120% application. Together with the MGF file, the associated MDS file is generated. It stores metadata about the corresponding MDF image.
