[gdal-dev] Converting DEM height values from feet to meter

[Evert Etienne (SITEMARK)]

Does one of the 2 options keep more settings of the input file? Such as NoData value, BIGTIFF creation option…?

But indeed, the possibility to use VRT does seem better since then it can be done during tiling. This probably only saves space and not time, correct (due to lack of understanding of VRT).

Thanks for replying!
