[TriLUG] Digital Video Recorders: advice

[Carl Crider]

Your assumption is correct. The linux box I've been using is for editing and 
storage.
The files that my friend has been storing/editing from his olympus have been 
converted already, via OSX.
If you can find a Linux app that can convert DSS, then your home free. The 
DS-2 will show up as another
USB device.

I do not use the DS-2 personally. Most of what I do is analog-to-digital.
I thought that speex might handle DSS, but it doesnt look like it does.
Sorry to throw in any confusion.

Good luck.
