Peng,

Dang, I see the GDAL metadata does not include the compression
code.  I have committed a change to nitfdataset.cpp to include reporting
the IC and IMODE values as metadata.   If the file is JPEG compressed
you should see it as IC=C8. 

Also, do you not get any error message issued when you get NULL 
back from the GetBlock() call? When I issue "gdalinfo -mm test.ntf" 
on the commandline for a JPEG compressed file I get the following
message:

ERROR 6: Unsupported imagery compression format C3 in NITF library.

Best regards,
