Hi,

The photo databases stored on the Zire are just JPEG
files broken up into records. 

Looking at a raw binary dump of the .pdb file, at
offset 0x78 into the .pdb, there's the start of a
block of JPEG data:

'DBLK' <count> 44 42 4C 4B 00 00 10 00, which in this
example means that the next 0x00001000 bytes are JPEG
data.

I think (haven't checked this yet) that each record in
the database begins with 'DBLK' <count> and the
remainder of the record is <count> bytes of
JPEG-format data, in other words. Cutting and pasting
just the data bytes into a new file and opening it in
an image-viewing program on the desktop works (the new
file opens and looks correct compared to the HotSynced
version).

HTH,
Paulo Raffaelli
