Most probably, because you can skip the Vectorization. You could use CSV as an intermediate format: * Create a CSV file using h5dump: http://www.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/doc/RM/Tools.html#Tools-Dump * Convert the CSV file into a Shape file using ogr. The OGR CSV driver page has some documentation on this: http://www.gdal.org/ogr/drv_csv.html I assume that this is only about point data.
