HOWTO convert daa image to iso

So,
you got yourself an important dvd image that is in (poweriso) daa format and you can't neither burn it or mount it on your hard drive. Since this is powerisos format you'll need the poweriso to convert it to ordinary *.iso file.

First,
go to the Poweriso download section. Lucky for you linux version is free and you can download it from the page above. Now that you got it extract it and navigate with terminal to that folder. If your image is located in for example

/home/user/images/myimage.daa

you can convert it as this. I hope you have already navigated with terminal to location of power iso, if not do so. Now type:

./poweriso convert /home/user/images/myimage.daa -o /home/user/images/myimage.iso -ot iso

And thats it. Now you can mount that image to any folder you wish (for example /media/virtual/) by typing:

sudo modprobe loop
sudo mount /home/user/images/myimage.iso /media/virtual/ -t iso9660 -o loop

Or you can simply burn it by
right clicking on its icon and selecting Write to Disc...
