Need help with Xilisoft Video Converter

I have just downloaded Xilisoft (full version) and I can't seem to import any of my movies which are all .MDS files can anyone help me out here, or direct me to a program that can?Basically I want to convert my .MDS files to .avi.Any help would be much appreaciated thanks.

Is there a .mdf file with that .mds file?At the moment that is a disk image and not a video file. You need to get those video files out of the disk image, I don't know the best way of doing this, except burning the disk image to a disc, and than ripping the video files from inside the disc to the PC.

No I can't see one all that there is in the movie folder is eg. The movie is called Wanted, so in the containing folder it has files like:Wanted.I00
Wanted.I01
Wanted.MDSwhen i search for them using Xilisoft nothin comes up. It must not recognise it...

May I ask where you got these files from?

I got them off a DVD using imgburn

That explains alot. That is your reason.Get a program called DVD decrypter, you'll notice that will look very similar to IMGburn.When you rip DVD movies from DVD decrypter you'll get a few .vob files which will be the movie. Than you can convert those .vob video files into .avi with XillisoftI hope that helps. :)

The .mds file contains metadata of the original file or media.The .I00 and .I01 are formats of a split image.

Sweet as thanks for that.Post Merge: [time]1244529603[/time]
There wouldn't be a program that could covert .MDS files to .VOB files would there??

nope, you'd have to mount the .mds and rip from the mounted image.

Ahh ok cheers
