Free DAA to ISO Converter GUI
This tool has been superseded by the original daa2iso converter (© Luigi Auriemna), which now has it’s own GUI. Use that.
A while ago I wrote a tutorial about the DAA file extension, which has gotten a lot of visits ever since. One of the comments on that post pointed me to a free DAA-to-ISO converter by Luigi Auriemna. It’s a nice tool, but it requires that you know how to use command-line utilities (and many users don’t). That’s why I decided to make a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for the converter.
Features
Converter Features (by Luigi Auriemna)
- Converts DAA archives to ISO files. You can then burn the ISO file to a CD or DVD with one of the many freeware tools (e.g. ImgBurn) or whatever. Nearly 100% of CD/DVD software support the ISO format.
- Supports multipart DAA files.
Interface Features (by me, Janis Elsts)
- Takes care of all the command-line stuff.
- Simple Windows interface – two textboxes and a button.
- Drag-and-drop a DAA file onto the application window to select it as the input file.
- Doesn’t require installation – just extract the .zip file somewhere and run daa_converter.exe.
Download DAA to ISO converter
Download : daa2iso_gui.zip (230 Kb) and daa2iso.zip from this page.
Extract both ZIP archives to the same folder and run daa_converter.exe. If that doesn’t work, try daa2iso.exe – it has a different interface, but can be more stable.
FAQ
Wait, do I need to download the converter/interface separately?
Yes. Originally I had them both in the same ZIP file, but Luigi – the author of the converter – asked me to remove the converter executable from this distribution.
When I tried to convert a file something just flashed on my screen and nothing else happened! Huh?
That’s probably because the converter encountered an error. You can try to run it from the command prompt to see the particular error message – feel free to study the beginners guide to WinXP command prompt if you don’t know how.
I tried the command prompt and it still doesn’t work. What now?
In this case you can try to contact Luigi, the author of the converter. Don’t ask me – I only made the window with the textboxes and a button 😉
I have a question about the GUI part, who do I ask?

Your work appreciated, thank you – and of course the Luigi man 🙂
I tried the gui all I got was a flash.If I wanted to run dos I would have kept the first computer I had 12 plus years ago.Someone posted “daa’s suck dump it”.I agree.
Thanks. This sure is a nifty little tool…
[…] should download the following programs: DAA2ISO (no install required, just open it) IZArc and install […]
a couple of days ago I have released a new version of daa2iso.
The only difference is that now supports big files… Mingw is a great compiler but don’t talk to it about compatibility of fseek/ftell at 64 bits 😎
Thanks for the info, I’ll update the archive on my site.
thanks. this was simple and great. i still have a lot to learn about using and getting around these weird files…thanks a lot. a donation to you will be made as soon as i can.
THANKS
This programs rocks. Thanks for helping out the rest of us!!!
😀 Very nice program indeed
WITH A FUCKEN TROIAN .
What? That’s a bit of a non-sequitur… shall I assume you are a spammer?
I have an antivirus & firewall running at all times and I strongly doubt the possibility that any of my programs might contain trojans.
Damn i love you. spent hours trying to convert before. fuck .daa 🙂
You “required” second download “daa2iso.zip” just links to “it.altervista.ms”. No download in “site” pun intended. Not a legitimate program or download, it appears.
Looks like a direct link for that file doesn’t work. Fixed now.
didn’t work
Just found your app to convert the stupid DAA type – Good App – Bad type…
Anyway – I’m using it for the first time to try to create an ISO for Elements 6.0. I’ve used the GUI and selected the file to convert (just 1), and I’ve elected the name to use on the converted ISO – I see the file I asked it to create, but it’s at 0 bytes still. I guess I’m wondering how long a conversion will take? – 80MB apx. I don’t see anything in the command prompt for GUI that lets me know of it’s progress. I just see in the command prompt: “Press ENTER to quit”.
Is it running??
Thanks so much for all your efforts and support!!
Try the daa2iso.exe itself, maybe that’ll work.
Unfortunately I can’t offer any better help at the moment, I’m a bit sick (phsically), so not thinking very clearly.
your a legend, brilliant explanation. good work
great prog virus and trojan free saved me hours tearing my hair out cheers i highly recommend these downloads and i rarely say that 🙂
The download link at the top of the page fo rthe gui zip doesn
‘t seem to work on y Visat box, however the download link in one of the comments does. Thank you.
I just wanted to say thank you for the software. It’s gonna save a headache and I get that it probably took a bunch of your time. So, thanks!
