Thanks

wget http://prdownload.berlios.de/iat/iat-0.1.3-src.tar.bz2
bunzip2 iat-0.1.3-src.tar.bz2
cd iat
./configure && make && sudo make install

iaf CD.mdf CD.iso

Another useful option is 'mdf2iso'

If you have Debian and/or Ubuntu you only have to do

apt-get install mdf2iso

to install it.

The usage is very simple: mdf2iso image.mdf image.iso

Check this link: http://www.sysadmindepot.com/Linux/WorkingWithISOImages for other useful conversions to ISO programs.

Hello,

What is better mdf2iso or iat?

Is it possible to convert if from command line?
I tried this way:

# mount -o loop -t iso9660 *.mdf /mnt/mdf
but...
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop/0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

I believe iat is newer and a replacement for mdf2iso. So use iat.

Also realize that the OP is from 2004.

Yes. mdf2iso is deprecated, it doesn't work in a lot of circumstances.

Either use iat to convert the image or use cdemu to mount it.

Thank you guys.
I emerged app-cdr/iat and converted my *.mdf file to *.iso
