.daa format mac os x

Hi all,

I have a disk image file with the extension .daa. I have found out this is a disk image, but I can't find a program that supports it under mac os x tiger. However, with windows the program PowerISO, I can manage the file like an iso.

I have toast titanium 7 and I cannot get it to recognise this file.

Any ideas?

btw. I don't have a DVD recorder on my PC before you ask, and hey, I've never had to rely on windows so I don't want to start now!!

Thanks in advance

'.daa' is a 'PowerISO' proprietary format.

'However, with windows the program PowerISO, I can manage the file like an ISO.' ... ' and hey, I've never had to rely on windows so I don't want to start now!!' - ?

Return to the Windoze based PC and save the data in a 'true' ISO format. Only then, the data may be accessible via a Macintosh.

I came to the same conclusion, nevermind.

Thanks anyway.

Hi, what kind of solution did you find?

Hi, is there a way to convert .daa files on MacOSX?

Thanks

No. See above.

(if you have an intel mac, you could install XP and convert from there)

I just used Virtual PC (I have a PBook, thus PPC), with absolutely no problem (other than it being slow). PowerISO is not a freeware, but you can use it unregistered for free apparently.

Hi

http://www.twilightedge.com/mac/daaconverter/


Works for me on Leopard. No reason why it wouldn't work in Tiger, AFAIK.

EDIT: Sorry for resurrecting old threads. Thought this was a good place to post this solution, as this thread is indexed on Google when searching for "daa mac"
