Kodak DC290 embeds WAVs within JPGs - how do I extract ?

I have had this DC290 since 1999, and am just now discovering this issue
that many users figured out back in 2000. The Kodak Connection software
takes care of this, but I am no longer relying on it. Well, actually it
only took care of half way - it copies out the embedded WAV, but leaves it
in the original JPG - what a waste of disk space! Or is it ? Is there some
application where you would want that embedded ? Here is a snippet from
such a post back in 2000:

==============
There is an (apparent) bug in the Kodak driver when you drag a .wav file
from the camera folder. My brother and I independently discovered this
problem a few weeks ago. In fact, when you see a separate .wav file in the
folder view, it is the driver playing tricks; the .wav data is embedded in
the .jpg file and the driver is attempting to make it look like it's a
separate file. If you put the CF card into a PDA (or CF card reader) you'll
only see the .jpg files.
==============

Can anyone make a recommendation how to clean this up ? I now have a large
archive of JPGs that I need remove the embedded WAV from, and going forward
need to be able to split them up as I move JPGs from the DC290 using a card
reader. Without leaving the embedded WAV in the JPG, for disk space
reasons.

Thanks,
Scott

See my response to your previous thread. It's not a bug, it is the design.

Greetings Scott,

Love your camera, one of my favorites. I liked the scripting, the sound,
and ability to create TIFF format files.

As to the sound files, if you are downloading the audio files for a DC290
and you have the camera tethered to the computer via USB or serial
connection, the audio file will appear in the DC290_01 folder with the same
file name as the image. It will have a file extension of WAV, along with
the associated JPG file. Copy both files to the same folder to maintain the
relationship.

If you attempt to transfer the images via a card reader or picture card
adapter, the audio file will not appear as a separate file in the DC290_01
folder. In Windows 98 only, you can single-click with the right mouse
button on the image file and select 'Properties' from the menu. Click on
the 'Picture' tab. Click on the 'Extract' button and select a folder to
which you can extract the audio file. Be sure to copy your image file(s) to
the same folders as their respective audio files.

Talk to you soon.
