Thanks Greg for your help about speeding things up.<br>But speed is the least of my problems. <br>I wouldn't mind waiting 72 hours if it gets the job done.<br>But even with this statement:<br>gdal_retile --config GDAL_CACHEMAX 4000-v -s_srs EPSG:28992 -of ECW -ps 17335 16000 -targetDir tiles large.ecw<br>
<br>I get the Memory error.<br><br>Do you also have any suggestion on that. Would be very much appreciated.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Paul<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/8/14 Greg Coats <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gregcoats@mac.com">gregcoats@mac.com</a>></span><br>

gdal_translate --config GDAL_CACHEMAX 40 ...<br>
which equates to 40 MB of memory.<br>
If you want to allow gdal_translate to use say 2 GB of memory for GDAL_CACHEMAX, enter<br>
gdal_translate --config GDAL_CACHEMAX 2000 ...<br>
In my experience, increasing GDAL_CACHEMAX substantially speeds up gdal_translate processing.<br>

I also noticed both gdal_translate and gdal_retile not use the full potential of my hardware. I'm running Vista 64Bit on a AMD3 2.6Ghz quadcore with 8GB RAM and only 2-2.5GB RAM was used by gdal_translate, leaving more than 5 GB free and only 35-55% of my CPU was used. Do I need to set some settings to speed things up?<br>
