Re: Can I burn an ISO file in WinXP x64 without using 3rd party applications?

 

Hi Robin,

 

No, you would need a 3rd party application to burn an ISO image to disc.

http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/?page_id=5 is free and has a x64

specific version.

Thanks. And do you know anything but PowerISO that can handle .daa?

I don't know this particular format, but usually you can just rename it to

*.ISO or whatever format your application requires to automatically include

it in the filename dialog. The whole concept of the 'digital image' (ISO!)

means any format will have to be digitally equal to any other format - i.e.

it's just a name!

 

The only instance I can think of for application specific digital formats

would be if you were dealing with parts of ISO's that required one specific

application to combine them into the original full size ISO - but I don't

know if any such thing actually exist.

Re: Can I burn an ISO file in WinXP x64 without using 3rd party applications?

 

An ISO image (.iso) is a disk image of an ISO 9660 file

system. ISO 9660 is an international standard originally

devised for storing data on CD-ROM. More loosely, it refers

to any optical disc image, even a UDF image.

 

As is typical for disc images, in addition to the data files

that are contained in the ISO image, it also contains all

the filesystem metadata, including boot code, structures,

and attributes. All of this information is contained in a

single file. These properties make it an attractive

alternative to physical media for the distribution of

software that requires this additional information as it is

simple to retrieve over the Internet.

 

Some of the common uses include the distribution of

operating systems, such as Linux or BSD systems, and

LiveCDs. The ease of Internet transmission also makes the

..iso format a common format for distributing copies of video

games over peer-to-peer networks, such as BitTorrent or

DirectConnect.

 

Most CD/DVD authoring utilities can deal with ISO images:

producing them either by copying the data from existing

media or generating new ones from existing files, or using

them to create a copy on physical media. Most operating

systems (including Mac OS, Mac OS X, BSD, Linux, and Windows

with Microsoft Virtual CD-ROM panel) allow these images to

be mounted as if they were physical discs, making them

somewhat useful as a universal archive format.

 

Console emulators, such as ePSXe and PCSX2, and many other

emulators that read from CD/DVD, are able to run ISO or

BIN/CUE (and other similar formats) instead of running

directly from the CD drive. Better performance is achieved

by running an ISO since there is no waiting for the drive to

be ready and the hard drive I/O speed is many times faster

than the CD/DVD drive. Along with the ability to avoid disk

failure (Shattering) which may be expensive to rectify.

Tony:

Only PowerISO can open the .daa format.

Been there, done that.

It's been a long time since I've even seen a .daa, so can't remember off the

top of my head. Renaming it to .iso might work though.

Carlos,

 

Is the .daa proprietary to PowerISO? I've come a cross .daa in the past,

but it's certainly not a format I'd choose to create. I always create .iso

images.

Re: Can I burn an ISO file in WinXP x64 without using 3rd party applications?

 

Yes that's what I was thinking - I cannot imagine what a proprietary 'Image

File' format would look like, except if it had it's own special header, or

something - in which case it wouldn't be an image file any longer, except if

the said application was designed to remove the header when burning.

 

No, I fail to see the logic. I'd rename it!

Re: Can I burn an ISO file in WinXP x64 without using 3rd party applications?

 

What Is a DAA File

 

DAA files are yet another disk image file format, invented

and used by PowerISO. This means that a .daa file contains

an exact copy of a CD or a DVD - whether it be a movie, a

game or simply a few gigabytes of accounting data (damn my

perverted imagination).

 

It’s used to store DVD backups and… eh, who am I kidding

here? If you’re reading this, chances are you got (that is,

downloaded) a .daa file somewhere (that is, BitTorrent or

the like) and are wondering what to do with it. Read on.

 

Sometimes, when somebody wants to put a “backup” copy of a

disk online, the .daa file format is used instead of the

more popular disk image formats (like ISO, BIN, CUE) because

it supports certain advanced features -

 

* Compression - a CD/DVD copy stored in .daa file

format may be slightly smaller than a corresponding .iso file.

* Multiple volume splitting – this means that you get

multiple smaller DAA files instead of one huge disk image.

* Encryption/passwords – I don’t think this one is

terribly useful, but you can password-protect your disk

images if you use the DAA file type.

 

On a side note, it’s possible to get all the aforementioned

benefits of DAA files by simply archiving the ISO disk copy

with WinRAR. This is why you may often see .rar files in

BitTorrent downloads (additional information - how to deal

with RAR files).

 

How To Open DAA Files

 

There’s actually only one alternative when it comes to

opening DAA files. To open a file with the .daa file

extension you will need to download PowerISO. After you’ve

installed this program you can just double-click any .daa

file (which will launch PowerISO and open the file) and

extract any files contained in the disk image.

 

PowerISO can also “mount” DAA files with an internal virtual

drive it creates. This means you don’t need to burn the DAA

file to a disk before you can use it. You can just mount it

and play the .daa file as if it was a real CD/DVD.

 

At the moment there are no other known DAA converters

available. The .daa file format is proprietary and is not

supported by any CD/DVD burning software I know of, so

you’re stuck with using PowerISO to open them – at least for

now. However, if you mount the DAA file with the virtual

drive, you can probably copy/rip/do whatever you like with

the virtual “disk” using whichever software you prefer.

Jane:

DAA(Direct-Access-Archive) is PowerISO proprietary.

I have found no decompressor so far.

Users most compromised are those using Linux, because there is no version of

PowerISO for that OS.

Another good reason to stay with windows.
