Direct Access Archive, or DAA, is a proprietary file format developed by PowerISO Computing, Inc for disk image files. The format supports features such as compression, password protection, and splitting to multiple volumes. Popular Windows disk image mounting programs such as Alcohol 120% and Daemon Tools currently do not support the mounting of DAA images; Linux and BSD also do not support mounting images of this kind.
Currently there is no published information about the format. Among mainstream applications, it can be opened or converted with MagicISO and UltraISO. Various free and open-source packages are also available to convert DAA to ISO images.
Although lacking official documentation, DAA image files are zlib- or lzma-compressed ISO images chunk by chunk.[1]
PowerISO provides free command-line tools for Linux and Mac OS X which allow the user to extract DAA files or convert them into ISO format, however these tools have not been updated to support the newest version of the DAA format. The PowerISO Windows trial version only supports converting images from DAA files up to 300MB,[2] less than half of the capacity of a standard CD.
AcetoneISO is a free CD/DVD management application for Linux that can convert DAA to ISO with the help of the external PowerISO command-line tool for Linux.
daa2iso[3] is an open source command line application has been developed to convert DAA files to ISO files. The program comes with a Windows binary and source code which compiles under Unix-like operating systems. daa2iso allows users to select the .daa file, and the location for the .iso output via standard windows open and save dialogs
For Mac OS X, DAA Converter[4] is a GUI application which wraps the daa2iso command-line tool (GNU license).
Due to using freely available compression algorithms, DAA includes the following features that are absent in ISO (but can be obtained by manually compressing ISO files):

AcetoneISO is a free and open-source virtual drive software to mount and manage image files. Its goals are to be simple, intuitive and stable. Written in Qt, this software is meant for all those people looking for a "Daemon Tools for Linux". However, AcetoneISO does not emulate any copy protection while mounting. AcetoneISO also supports Direct Access Archive (*.daa) images because it uses the non-free and proprietary PowerISO Linux software as a backend while converting images to ISO. Around the year 2010, AcetoneISO gained native support for burning ISO/CUE/TOC images to CD-R/RW and DVD-+R/RW (including DL) media thanks to external open source tools such as cdrkit, cdrdao and growisofs. It is available in Arch Linux (in AUR), Debian, Ubuntu, Slackware, and Fedora Linux.
Myrient was a video game preservation website that provided collections of legacy games for direct download without sign-up or paywalls (such as downloading collections of SNES and Sega Genesis games). The service promoted fast, unrestricted access to archived content and accepted community uploads to build its collections. Its official pages described the project as a preservation-focused archive available to users worldwide. Myrient was part of Erista services, alongside hShop, a website dedicated to Nintendo 3DS games.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
