Ron,

Thanks for the reply, was out of the loop for a while.

I prefer to do this a a large group of files, rather than one at a
time, if possible. What I'm looking for an application that will tell
me if there is a sound file embedded in the file (just as Picture Easy
did, but be able to "Extract all". I'm hoping to be able to recover
all the audio from many years that is in these files. I like Kodak,
and am leaning towards their cameras when I purchase the replacement
for this old one (from 1999), but proprietary jiggery will play into
the requirements of what not to have.

(yes Virginia, it is possible to have a sound file in a jpg file,
though one could argue that it's not strict to the jpg standard format,
thus not a "pure" jpg file. They view and import like any other jpg).

Greetings NetWrench,

Yes, you can extract the files, Net, but not sure you can do it in a batch?
I suppose you could write a program to do this, but there is no program I
know of to do that. If you want to review one at a time, then

In this process you would need to have old programs installed. For example,

1. Install the v1.3 DC290 software
2. Access the drive letter that corresponds with the card reader and double
click.
3. Highlight an image icon that has a sound file embedded in the jpeg header
and right click on it. Then left click on [Properties].
4. Click on the [Picture] tab and then click on [Extract].
5. Save the file to the computer. The wav file will take on the name of the
given image file name.

Once you have them, you can use an audio program to extract and save for use
as you please later on. It will take some work but may well be worth it.
If your reference is to extracting sounds from other files, let me know.

Talk to you soon,
