i think either blindwrite or alcohol 120% burns them, could be mistaken though, why not google it?

Found this on filext.com.
Alcohol 120% CD Image File Alcohol Software
Specific Notes
One of several CD image formats that Alcohol 120% can mount. Alcohol 120% is used for media backup.

The .mds is a Alcohol 120 % image. Get Alcohol 120% mount the image with the virtual drive Alcohol makes and then use cdr-win to convert it to Bin/Cue. So you will use Alcohol to mount then load up the cdr-win then choose "extract" then you will use cdr-win to extract from the virtual drive and it will be in Bin/Cue format, you need Bin/Cue for the PSX emulator.

So how did it turn out?

Trippe2k · « **Reply #10 on:** May 28, 2004, 01:55:00 PM »

as it turns out i think the mds file i was trying to use was corrupt, because i tried it with another one and it did work thank you, also i used alcohol to copy file straight off a ps1 game and it worked thank you for your help.

an easier way to go about it.. imo
get ultra-iso or magic iso, and just convert to another format...
