What Is the File Extension Md0?

Produced by Alcohol Software, Alcohol 120% is a computer program used to make copies of CDs and DVDs. A number of files are associated with the use of Alcohol 120%, including .md0 files.

Identification

A file with the .md0 file extension is known as an Alcohol disc image segment.

Function

A .md0 file contains a copy of all or a portion of a CD or DVD created with Alcohol 120%. The .md0 file serves as a marker to your computer, signaling that the file requires Alcohol 120% to be accessed.

Types

For small files, Alcohol 120% saves all of the data in one .md0 file. Larger files are divided into segments or chunks, with the .md0 being the first segment and others following with extensions like .md1 and .md2.

Features

In addition to the .md0 file and other possible segment files, Alcohol 120% also saves files with the extensions .mdf or .mds, which specify how many segments the original disc has been broken into.

Use

These files can be burned to another CD or DVD, emailed or shared with an external hard drive or zip drive.

Benefits

By breaking the file into segments, Alcohol 120% makes large files easier to store on several discs for backup purposes. If you are emailing the files, you can do so individually, making it less likely that your emails will be rejected or bounced because the file is too large.
