Alcohol 120% is an optical disc authoring program and disk image emulator created by Alcohol Soft. Alcohol 120% began as a direct continuation of the Fantom DVD optical drive emulation software.

Alcohol 120% can also mount disc images, with support for their proprietary Media Descriptor Image (.mds/.mdf) disc image format.

In the newest version Alcohol 120% contains the A.C.I.D. Wizard "Alcohol Cloaking Initiative for DRM" (based originally on the Y.A.S.U. application).

Supported File Types

These formats are supported by the image mounting feature of Alcohol 120%:

  • .mds/.mdf, Media Descriptor Image file, (default)
  • .ccd/.sub, CloneCD Image File
  • .cue/.bin, CDRWIN Image File
  • .iso, Standard ISO Image file
  • .bwt/.bwi/.bws, Blindread Image File
  • .cdi, DiscJuggler Image File
  • .nrg, Nero Burning ROM Image File
  • .pdi, Instant CD/DVD Image File
  • .b5t/.b5i, Blindwrite V5/V6 Image File (also .b6t/.b6i)
  • .isz, UltraISO Image File

These formats are supported by the image making tool:

  • .mds/.mdf, Media Descriptor Image file, (default)
    • When making disk images of DVDs, Alcohol 120% only supports the .mdf/.mds format.
  • .ccd/.img/.sub, CloneCD Image File
  • .cue/.bin, CDRWIN Image File
  • .iso, Standard ISO Image file

Copy protection

Alcohol 120%'s image recording feature is capable of bypassing certain copy protection schemes, such as SafeDisc, SecuROM, and Data Position Measurement (DPM). It can also create images from PlayStation and PlayStation 2 file systems. Certain copy protection schemes require burner hardware that is capable of passing along the copy protection.

The program does not back up DVD titles encrypted with the Content Scramble System. Alcohol Soft cites present legal restrictions for the decision not to include this feature.

Some software manufacturers employ software blacklist methods to prevent Alcohol 120% from copying the software. There are third party tools available that attempt to counteract the blacklist methods, such as Anti-blaxx and CureROM.

Alcohol 52%

Alcohol 52% is a version of Alcohol 120% without the burning engine. It can still create image files, and mount those images onto up to 6 virtual drives. There are two versions of Alcohol 52%, free and 30-day trial. The free version contains an optional adware toolbar bundled.
