[TriLUG] Digital Video Recorders: advice

[Carl Crider]

You can use the included Olympus software to convert the DSS file into a WAV 
file, this option
is given when moving the file from the recorder to your hard drive.
Then use Audacity, or whatever sound editor to convert to any other format 
you may need.

The Olympus DS-2 is a great tool.

There are some good tutorials here:
