Hi all,<br><br>I've got a customer who is using large NITF files (~1.5 GB) and is seeing ridiculously slow load times in our application. I don't have access to his data, so I can't test directly, but it seems like the NITF driver may have some issues with large file sizes (> 1GB).<br>
<br>To test on my end, I created a few different GeoTiff files (600 MB, 800 MB, and 1.2 GB) and tried to convert them to NITF using gdal_translate. Converting the 600 and 800 MB files worked just fine and had very reasonable speed (few minutes). However, when I tried to use gdal_translate on the 1.2 GB file, the process hung at 0% for forever and I had to kill it after waiting for a very long time. It seems as if there is something magical about this 1 GB boundary.<br>
<br>Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions as to what could be causing this issue?<br><br>Thanks!<br><br>Jason<br>
