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This tool has been superseded by the original daa2iso converter (© Luigi Auriemna), which now has it’s own GUI.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?

How can I make a gui for a command-prompt program? please contact me. 🙂
There’s nothing special to it and no specific tutorials to study. Basically you just make an application that will launch the command-prompt tool with certain parameters.
Thanx for the great program, saves time because there is no need to download powerISO , and just use Deamon toolz

Try running daa2iso.exe, not daa_converter.
Works fine for me. Thanks a lot
lately some people are contacting me asking why they must reselect the files multiple times…
I’m curious to know why you continue to say that my tools are command-line only and people need your launcher to use them with the GUI.
this is totally false and in fact your launcher does just nothing since the dialogs for selecting the real files are those of daa2iso/uif2iso.
The truth is I’ve been too busy/lazy to reqrite this post to reflect that. I’ll just put a big link to your page at the top and be done with it.

The link is in big, italic letters right at the top of this page.
If daa2iso.exe doesn’t work for you, the file probably isn’t supported by the converter, and you’re out of luck.

Thanks for all of your hard work! You’ve made my life a lot easier with this and the uif converter. Most people don’t appreciate the knowledge that it take to make even simple programs like these.
Cheers, worked like a dream!
