[gdal-dev] problem with gdal_translate jp2 file from the usgs (linux)

[Hare, Trent]

Kasper,
  When I have trouble with the various Jp2 implementations, I seem to
always lean on the Kakadu JP2 library. When GDAL is not available with
Kakadu built-in (due to licensing), you can convert from Geojpeg2000 to
geoTiff using the free Kakadu binaries. Example conversion:

> kdu_expand -i geo.jp2 -o geo.tif -num_threads 2
"    -- Decompresses a JP2 file, writing the result in the TIFF format,
while attempting to record useful JP2 boxes in TIFF tags.  This is only a
demonstration, rather than a comprehensive attempt to convert all possible
boxes to tags.  However, one useful box which is converted (if present) is
the GeoJP2 box, which may be used to store geographical information."

You can download Linux binaries from:

good luck,
Trent
