Files.mdx on Linux
There is a file with the .mdx permission. On the forums, I read that in order to open it, you need to convert it to. iso with the iat program. I run the conversion, but it does not work, writes a message in the console and hangs there indefinitely. What is the problem? I don't understand, maybe there are other ways to open such a file?
$ iat MB.mdx MB.iso

$ file MB.mdx
MB.mdx: MED_Song
By running the command: $ strace iat MB.mdx MB.iso I got hundreds of lines per second of this plan:

And try just mounting with offset:
mount -o loop,offset=64 image.mdx /mnt/cdrom/
If it didn't help, it looks like there's a hybrid partition. You can also try manually specifying the disk type. Most often it is udf or iso9660
mount -t udf -o loop,offset=64 image.mdx /mnt/cdrom/
mount -t iso9660 -o loop,offset=64 image.mdx /mnt/cdrom/
The format also supports compression. If the data is compressed, then you need to convert it to iso. It just won't connect.
$ sudo mkdir /mnt/cdrom
$ sudo modprobe loop # в убунтах обычно не нужно
$ sudo mount -o loop,offset=64 "Alter Ego +3 Manuel CD.mdx" /mnt/cdrom/
mount: /mnt/cdrom: WARNING: device write-protected, mounted read-only.
$ ls /mnt/cdrom/
