I have been trying to make JP2 raster files with FWTools with limited success. FWTools will not allow for the creation of a JP2 file at a specific file size. However, I am able to make a JP2 with the same data within ArcMap. Is there a file size limit with FWTools? Does anyone know of any work arounds? I am looking to make larger sized GeoTiffs (100+ MB) into JP2 files.

Thanks...

  • By FWTools do you mean gdal_translate?

  • Yes, exactly. When I use gdal_translate and try to convert raster files to JP2 I have limitations based in sizes of the output file.

  • The ECW based driver does have a file size limit. Did it give you any error messages? gdal.org/frmt_jp2ecw.html

I know that this response is 6 months late, but you could use the development build found here - Link or you could build your own. In order to accomplish what you are wanting to do without obtaining a third party encoding sdk, you will need the OpenJPEG library (v2) library - http://www.gdal.org/frmt_jp2openjpeg.html
