    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.MDS

    when i search for them using Xilisoft nothin comes up. It must not recognise it...

    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 Xillisoft

    I hope that helps. :)

    The .mds file contains metadata of the original file or media.

    The .I00 and .I01 are formats of a split image.

    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.
