[Gdal-dev] SID to TIF

[David W. Lowther]

Andrey,

So if I get the SDK from Lizardtech and compile GDAL with SID support, I
can convert from SID to anything else GDAL supports, correct? GDAL
itself has no size limitation except that of each individual format?

Exactly. TIFF files are limited in 4GB by design.

BTW, you can find the size limits for GDAL supported formats here:
