Those are Alcohol 120% ISO files....You must convert them into ISO format to be able to mount them. As for burning, I don't know if K3B or any other cd-record program will take them as valid ISOs, try it out and see
there is a GREAT script called 'Mount ISO image' , it will let u just right click and choose mount it will then mount it to a folder on the desktop , it can even convert between iso and cue
"Mount ISO Image is an advanced script which allows to perform multiple operations with ISO, NRG (Nero Burning ROM), UDF (DVD), CUE/BIN, CCD/IMG/SUB (CloneCD), XDVDFS (XBOX) images.
Mount/unmount operations can be performed in two different ways: using kdesu or sudo. During the installation you'll be offered to choose a variant to use.
Note: If you prefer to use sudo, you should first choose to "Setup sudo config" in installation menu."
Originally posted by acid_kewpie please don't think it's linux's "fault" for not having an app to support some non-standard file format for a 2nd rate windows app.
I NEVER meant to say it's Linux's fault!!! Please don't misunderstand me, I'm just saying that if you use crappy software that makes strange, non standard iso files, don't pretend that Linux will solve your problem. It up to you to use that software (in that case Alcohol 120%) and make those iso files.
I think some people do not understand that Linux is different from Windows, but they pretend Linux to do the same as Windows does, while this is not possible. They're different, something you'll be able to do it, some don't.
If he/she does not want to convert mdf files into iso for fearing to loose CD protection, that means is some kind of warez and he/she shouldn't use them. There's no solution at all (AFAIK) to mount mdf files, moreover you can't mount bin files (that are more common).
The easiest (and I think the unique) solution is to boot to Windows, run Alcohol 120%, burn the image(s) and spent some blank CDs...
Once again, don't misunderstand this and/or the previous post as saying Linux sux for not having an app that understands those files....It's just the contrary, otherwise I wouldn't be using Linux for almost 3 years now
