Since I have to use vfat partitions as well for backing up DVDs using DVD Decrypter / DVD Shrink on MS-Wind, I end up with split ISO files and MDS like so:TITLE.I00 TITLE.I01 TITLE.I02 TITLE.I03 and TITLE.MDSWhich Linux program is able to write such split ISO's to a DVD-5?
If possible, I would avoid merging the files like cat TITLE.I00 TITLE.I01 TITLE.I02 TITLE.I03 > /mnt/some-ext2-fs/TITLE.ISO cause that takes extra time (and a partition with enough free space), and I have quite some I00, I01 etcetera to be burned...

(I tried duckduckgo'ing that question but got no results that solved it... I got the info I can use IMGBurn to burn it (http://forum.videohelp.com/threads/254064-How-do-i-burn-these-files-%28-I00-I01-I02-and-Mds%29), but I also can use DVD Decrypter for burning these (when running XP, that's what I usually do ;)) , but none of what the search resulted in have been Linux programs; therefore this post)

mkisofs' manpage entry for the -split-output option makes reference to cdrecord concatenating multiple files into a single track if burning to a DVD. I would look there (although when I tried this on OSX with the files on a flash drive, it didn't want to work; I just copy them to the internal drive, cat them together, and then use cdrecord).

I've never been able to use ImgBurn to burn stuff under Wine, only under Windows. And you should use ImgBurn rather than DVD Decrypter to do this, because ImgBurn is several years more up-to-date.

You might be able to do this in a somewhat roundabout way by mounting the .mds through CDEmu, and then use a disc-to-disc copy operation to burn from the mounted disc, which should appear concatenated to the system. I've not tried this, but it's the best idea I can think of. It probably won't preserve layer breaks, but that's only relevant for dual-layer discs anyway.
