Hi Daniel, Thanks for the response. Perhaps I misunderstood HDF5 Packet Tables when I was reading about them about a week ago. For example, examining their signature for creation:
* hid_t* H5PTcreate_fl( *hid_t* loc_id, *const char ** dset_name, *hid_t* dtype_id, *hsize_t* chunk_size, *int* compression ) Versus a traditional hdf5 dataset which can take various properties list, in particular dcpl_id: * hid_t* H5Dcreate( *hid_t* loc_id, *const char **name, *hid_t* dtype_id , *hid_t* space_id, *hid_t* lcpl_id, *hid_t* dcpl_id, *hid_t* dapl_id ) This gives me the impression that Packet Tables do not support filters, such as ones used for lossless compression. One of the main reasons I'm looking into HDF5 is because of it's ability to incorporate such filters.
