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This tool has been superseded by the original daa2iso converter (© Luigi Auriemna), which now has it’s own GUI.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

I found the first file to convert DAA to iso but I can’t seem to find the link to the second file daa2iso.zip could you em the link to me. I have a multi book collection about 25 medical titles that are in DAA format and I am pretty sure I will need both files that are mentioned. If this is not the case just let me know.I’m pretty sure once I have converted them that I can put more than one title on a DVD otherwise it will take 25 DVD’s which is way to many DVD’s.
Thanks for time and giving the information. If I missed seeing the second link I appologize.
Thank you

Thanks so so so much..I was a little confused at first because I didn’t know where to look for the 2nd part (daa2iso.zip) but all you have to do is scroll a teeny bit on Luigi’s page. Just converted my first file!! Excellent

Thanks again!!

[…] Det vi er nødt til å gjøre for å få muligheten til å ta nytte av innholdet i .daa-filen er rett og slett å konvertere den til det kjente og universelle ISO-formatet. Dette kan vi gjøre ved å bruke et gratisprogram som heter DAA2ISO. […]

I try to convert a daa file but once it reached about 4g, it stopped and said that Check disk space. In fact, I have plenty of disk spaces. Is there a restriction on file size?
White Shadow says:

March 21, 2009 at 20:20

Maybe. Is your disk formatted as FAT32? That filesystem has a 4Gb limit.
