wow, I have no idea. Can you send us the .nii file and we will try? What machine is it failing on and does it print any error messages during conversion? Can you send us the full command line and terminal output of the mri_convert command that fails?

cheers

      How
      did you create the 001.mgz? Rerunning recon-all won't help if the 001.mgz
      is already corrupted - you will need to regenerate it. That fact that we
      can't even read slice 0 suggests there is something badly wrong with it.
      Can you look at it in freeview?


This is how 001.mgz is generated, right after the recon-all command and perl 
warning:

perl: warning: Falling back to the standard locale ("C").

I manually converted anatomical image to 001.mgz on this server, it gave the 
same error. When I
tried it on my desktop, it worked fine. So forth, mri_convert function on the 
server somehow
corrupts nii files. What do you think the reason could be?

Best,
Batuhan
