No good reason. I'm more familiar with the other commands since I use them often is the main reason. A side benefit is that I can match existing tiles on other datasets and adopt existing tile names too. Now that I've read the utility pages for gdal_merge and gdal_retile I see that would be an

That is a surprise. In all my tests I had no memory problems with gdal_retile. Sometimes I had some memory problems with gdal_merge. The biggest input file for gdal_retile was a 80 GB Erdas image (not compressed) and it works fine. I have never testet with an ECW File and my tests run on a

A short question Why did you not use 1) gdal_merge 2) gdal_translate 3) gdal_retile Btw, if there is no need for reprojection, gdal_retile alone does the job. Did you have problems using these utilities ? Eli Adam writes: Gilles, I do a similar process (build large vrt mosaic,
