I was recently given a 1G flash drive. Sony Micro Vault model# USM1GJ. Had no problem reading it in FC5. So far, so good. But, this drive comes pre-loaded with a compression program that will allow you to store up to three times as much information. (Supposedly. Usual caveat YMMV. Also, does not compress jpg's, mpg's, wma's, zip's, lvh's, etc. or anything less than 2K) Compressed files will have the extension .vem. On the disk or available at http://www.sony.net/Products/Media/Microvault/ is the decompression.exe which will allow you to decompress these files without using the Micro Vault program. Has anyone had experience with this in Linux/Fedora? Does this .exe work in Wine? (I haven't any personal experience with Wine Yet) Is there a Linux equivalent application that can handle the .vem files? Personally, I'm thinking of just not using the compression. It only takes up 1.5M, so I can just leave it/delete everything but the decompression.exe just in case I need it later.
