Overview
MPF used to only be a frontend for DiscImageCreator but multiple dumpers and parsed outputs are now available. To make it easier on users, below is a table representing the various dumping programs and their relevant features.
| Program Name | Short Name | Can Dump | Can Check | Redump Compatible Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|

For users who are concerned about having exact matches to submit or verify against Redump, Redumper is currently the default option. Along with DiscImageCreator, it is considered the standard for the Redump project.
Aaru is, in the long term, a much better solution for dumping given the amount of disc metadata is included in the default Aaruformat output and associated dumping files. Things like hashes will likely match for verification's sake, but the output Aaruformat files, due to their unique format, will not be an external match. However, Aaruformat outputs can be converted to BIN/CUE using Aaru, though not in the split format used by Redump.
Note: In general, WIP builds for all above programs are not supported with new flags or features until they make it into the stable release. Sometimes branches will be created for larger upcoming updates to make the transition easier.
