It's not released yet.

New tool (http://www.freewebs.com/schlaufer/pdixtract.zip), new thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=46206).

PDIxtract extracts the content of a .pdi file set to your hard disk.

UPDATE
Hi,
there is a new version of pdixtract combined with a GUI frontend, called PDITool, you can find and discuss it here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=47259).

why doesn't just everyone use http://www.mitlaender.de/download/pdi2iso_011.zip <--It converts all PDI 2 ISO and burn with ur software easy? No I've done that to over 30 DVD's and they all work so whats the problem here?

PDITOOL is the best option

using files gives you a lot more control over editing your files after ripping and before burning

I have never used ISO's since I began ripping back in the old days :) (dewrin the worr!)

so I guess I'll never understand the big fuss some people make about creating ISO's from ripping and for burning :confused:

that's my 2p!, but it's a shame that option don't work for everyone

does anyone else never use ISO's, or is it just me? :scared:

Personally, I have always heard that burning ISO is superior or less chance of failure. :)

Can't recall the reasoning behind it though.

yep i have to agree, i have just d/l it and it did the job fine great piece of kit,having said that i just use the ic engine had no probs yet!besides if i wanted to make(which i dont)another backup of that id proberbly use the new dvddecryptor which recognises pdi format,shame its not out yet....waitng!

I have to agree also. I have used PDITool before now. Today I had pdi files for a movie that PDITool said didnt contain any data. I used PDI2ISO and it worked fine.

For converting PDI to ISO, use this script if you are on Unix

*****************************************************

#! /bin/sh

# converts PDI files to ISO files

if [ $# != 1 -a $# != 2 ] ; then
echo "Usage: pdi2iso filename [outfile]"
exit
fi

if [ ! -f "$1" ] ; then
echo $1 does not exist
exit
fi

if [ "$1" != "`basename "$1"`" ] ; then
filename must not contain a path
exit
fi

if [ "$2" ] ; then
FILENAME="$2"
else
FILENAME="`basename "$1" .pdi`.iso"
fi

if [ -f "$FILENAME" ] ; then
echo $FILENAME already exists
exit
fi

# strip first 304 bytes of first file
echo "$1"
tail -c +305 "$1" > "$FILENAME"

# append remaining files
for file in "$1"[0-9][0-9] ; do
echo $file
cat "$file" >> "$FILENAME"
done

# pad with zeros to achieve a filesize which is a multiple of 2048
SIZE=`ls -l "$FILENAME" | awk '{ print $5 }'`
MOD=`expr $SIZE % 2048`
PAD=`expr 2048 - $MOD`

head -c $PAD < /dev/zero >> "$FILENAME"

echo $FILENAME created
