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This tool has been superseded by the original daa2iso converter (© Luigi Auriemna), which now has it’s own GUI.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 ๐
I have a question about the GUI part, who do I ask?

Hi, can someone help me please? I was so happy to find this software and when tried to convert a daa file, I get the following error?
the uncompressed size doesn’t match the chunksize
What does this mean? Is there anything that I did wrong?
@Wldboy – You probably didn’t do anything wrong, but the file you’re trying to convert might be corrupted.

[…] Seems Power ISO is the only software to open .daa file extension. Did you tried DAA to ISO GUI daa2iso gui. […]
so whether version of the software i use i should be able to convert a .daa bootable file and convert it to a iso bootable image or will i have to do some thing else?
@shadow’s shadow? – That’s the idea.
ok. i have a .daa file of two movies in one. i got it from mininova.org what do i do and how do i do it free??? i have no money to pay for a converter for just one freaking movie! I am really annoyed by this. why would someone put up a file that is hard to open? makes no sense to me! uggggggggghhhhh. anyhow, i just want to go ahead a burn it to DVD and get it over with. someone please help. thanks. P.S. i am not very good with computers. not anything too advanced at least. so please no jargon. it will only confuse. lol
@MiriHumi – Short version :
1. Download this
2. Extract to any location
3. Run the .exe and use it to convert the .daa to .iso. Should be pretty easy to figure it out.
4. Find a freeware ISO burner. ImgBurn will do.
5. Burn the ISO file to a disk.
That’s it.

@ghprod – To convert ISO to DAA, use PowerISO (shareware). I don’t think there are any other programs that can do it.
It doesn’t work. when I select a daa-file to convert it says can’t found daa2iso.exe.
so i changed the name to daa2iso and i tried again but when i pressed conversion it open the program aigain:@
@M@ster – Have you downloaded both files? If not, check the post for the second download link.
