What to do with .cdr?

PMKeates · 9 Feb 2006 at 22:23

A friend of mine has recently jetted away on holiday - lucky him!

He's a vigorous Mac user but lacks a DVD writer and so he has given me a 2800MB .cdr file for me to burn for him.

I assume that .cdr is some form of imaging format, but I can find absolutely nothing that seems to be able to burn or even attempt to read the format that it's in. Does anyone have any experience of .cdr's, and knows what to do with them?

Thanks in advance

".CDR is the file extension for the Corel Draw Vector drawing file, and for the Raw Audio-CD data file"

found that with a quick google

never heard of it myself

never head of it before, does renaming to to .dmg let you burn it?

Yeah, I had a quick hunt around for .cdr and came up with that. I also managed to find that it's a format that a MAC can create as an image for a DVD. I've just no idea how to handle it or how to get it on a disc again.

I seem to remember that you can just change the extension to .iso and burn it, but not 100% sure. Best bet is to rename to .iso and se if daemon tools can mount the iso. If so, you should be able to burn it as an iso.
