<p>I have a tiff file. I decided to jpeg compress it for some help
with the size. <br>
</p>
<p>I did: gdal_translate -co compress=jpeg -co tiles=yes oldfile.tif
newfile_jpg.tif <br>
</p>
<p>When I open the file in QGIS (2.18.7) on linux it crashes
immediately.</p>
<p>When opened on windows if the file is small it takes about a
minute but displays. If I compress a larger tiff (compressed size
is 1.1 gb) QGIS on windows crashes. <br>
</p>
<p>I checked for bugs and there seems to be a jpeg bug out there:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://issues.qgis.org/issues/16049">https://issues.qgis.org/issues/16049</a></p>
<p>If I do this with compress=deflate, QGIS is happy. <br>
</p>
<p>Anyway - file a bug report? or I'm doing the compression
incorrectly? <br>
