Converting File Formats
Use the [Save As] command in the [File] menu.
To convert a voice file into the WAVE format,
select [WAV File] as the file type. When a voice
file is converted into the WAVE format,
proprietary DSS format data (priority, index
marking, etc.) will be lost.
• It is not possible to convert files from WAVE
to DSS.
File Formats Handled by DSS Player
DSS Player can handle DSS format and WAVE
format files.
• DSS format
This is the voice file format recorded by the
DS-320. The file naming convention for this
format is as follows.
A DSS-format file needs only about 102 kB of
data per minute in the SP mode or about 47kB
of data per minute in the LP mode. Index
marking and priority can be set in this file.
• WAVE format
This is the Windows standard voice file
format. WAVE files are indicated by the file
extension: wav. The sound quality of wave
files recorded with 11.025kHz, 16-bit
monaural PCM, is equivalent to the SP mode
of DSS format. The WAVE format requires
1.3 MB of data per minute. It does not show
index marks and priority levels.
