What is a .MBD file?

The file extension .MBD stands for a Multimedia Builder Project File. This type of file is created using a software called Multimedia Builder, also known as MMB. Multimedia Builder is a tool used for designing user interfaces and programming functions for various multimedia projects. These projects often include front-ends for application CDs and game CDs, as well as interfaces for small games and multimedia playback applications.

An .MBD file contains all the necessary elements for the multimedia project, such as the design of the user interface and the associated programming functions. These files are particularly useful for creating autorun interfaces for CDs. This means that when the CD is inserted into a computer's CD drive, the interface or application stored on the CD will automatically start up.

To open an .MBD file, you need to use the MediaChance Multimedia Builder program. However, it's important to note that the developers, MediaChance, have stopped further development of this software and consider it to be legacy software, which means it is no longer being updated.

Additionally, MMB projects, which are saved as .MBD files, can be compiled into standalone executable files with the .EXE extension. These executable files can then be burned onto a CD along with an Autorun.ini file. The Autorun.ini file is a configuration file that tells the computer to automatically run the application stored on the CD when it is inserted into the CD drive.

It's worth mentioning that sometimes people mistakenly type .MBD when they mean to type .MDB, which is the file extension for Microsoft Access database files. Therefore, it's good to double-check the file extension if there's any confusion about the file type.
