Jon,

Well "best way" is a broad request.  I am pretty sure there
are linux tools (or at least the SDK) available from MrSID.
But I am not aware of any binary distributions of a translator
package that is freely available from any other source that
includes MrSID support.

I would suggest you look into what Lizardtech has to offer.  You
might need to do the translation on windows to use their utilities.

I might yet dig into including MrSID support in my FWTools builds.

Best regards,
