Convert GCD to DAA

Understanding GCD and DAA file formats

The GCD file format is a type of disk image file used primarily for storing the contents of a CD or DVD. It is often used for backup purposes or for creating exact copies of optical media. On the other hand, the DAA (Direct Access Archive) file format is a proprietary disk image format developed by PowerISO. It supports advanced features such as compression, password protection, and splitting into multiple volumes.

Why convert GCD to DAA?

Converting a GCD file to a DAA file can be beneficial if you need to take advantage of the additional features offered by the DAA format, such as compression and encryption. This can be particularly useful for saving disk space or securing sensitive data.
