hi etienne, it seems that compression is also possible via GUI http://i59.tinypic.com/2ueilg9.png -- View this message in context: http://osgeo-org.1560.x6.nabble.com/Selecting-rasters-with-vector-layer-tp5107230p5108192.html Sent from the Quantum GIS - User mailing list archive at

I know (I did part of it) - but it's not available for all tools... For example, the Translate tool has it, but not the Warp tool. Perhaps it would be easier to add to all the tools if it were part of the default tool interface (which shows the command line etc.) On Fri, Mar 7, 2014 at 11:38

Thank you Eric, I had to chose FME to save the ECW. My third party software supports other formats, but TIFF files are huge, so it is not a viable solution. 2014-03-04 17:07 GMT+01:00 Eric Goddard egoddard1...@gmail.com: Hi Asher, Sorry, I didn't read the full GDAL page regarding ECW

Hi Asher, GeoTIFFs can be compressed considerably but they still end up a bit larger than ECW's. For example we have aerial photography: ECW: 22.7GB JP2: 26.4GB GeoTIFF: 31.2GB So the GeoTIFF (actually an image pyramid) is about 50% larger, but is also better quality and faster loading. Cheers,

Eric, I just tried to create a VRT from all ecw images in a folder. Unfortunately, it does not work, the command line seems to be rejected when there are too many input files. The problem also appear if directly using the gdalbuildvrt from the command line. The only solution I found was to build

Hi all, I have a set of more than 200 ecw rasters that I can easily load in QGIS. I also have a vector polygon layer which bounds an area covering a part of the area covered by the whole set of rasters. What I would like to do is to extract only, the raster which are intersected by the vector

Hi asher, if you go to raster - miscellaneous, there is a menu entry called build virtual raster catalog. You can use that to virtually mosaic all of your ECW files. This tool creates a new file you can load in as a raster that references all of the individual ECW files to display them seamlessly

Yes, you should be able to choose ECW from the files of type drop down in the output file selection dialog and select ECW. Eric On Mon, Mar 3, 2014 at 4:48 PM, Asher Kamiraze asher.kamir...@gmail.comwrote: Thanks Eric, sounds really good. Is there a way to save the resulting file (clipped)
