How to burn .mdf disc images on Macs

Ok, it's out of this blog's scope, but it is too much of a good hint to pass up:

MDF is a format for disc images used by the popular Windows program Alcohol 120%, just like .toast is used only by our beloved Toast CD/DVD burner program. Alcohol's format is composed by a small .mds file and a big .mdf file.

So, two ways to do it, depending on how you get the disc image. They don't work with all images but I can say I have had 90% of success until now.

1) The MDS file is unnecessary. Just rename the .MDF file to .ISO and burn it.

2) Sometimes the image will come as a .MDS file and then a lot of MDFs, like disc.mdf.001 and disc.mdf.002 and so on, or else just disc.001 or disc.002, you get it. In this case, you have to rename them all to extensions like disc.iso.001 (NEVER forget the .ISO part), disc.iso.002, etc, again ignoring the MDS file. Then, you have to use the freeware utility Split and Concat, drag all the numbered files to the program and it will make a single .ISO file. Then, just burn it!

Hope this helps, I had to research a lot to find this out.

PS: By the way, I once burned a .TOAST DVD image on a Windows PC just by changing the extension to .ISO and it worked flawlessly with Alcohol 120%.
