Matt,<br><br>Did you build GDAL yourself? HDF4 format is not compiled by default. You can check if this by running the command "gdalinfo --formats". See if HDF4 is in the output.<br><a href="http://www.gdal.org/frmt_hdf4.html">http://www.gdal.org/frmt_hdf4.html</a><br>

Hi,<br>
i am using python/gdal. I am trying to open a MODIS satellite file <span style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; font-size: medium;">from the Terra satellite (which is hdf4-eos
format). Doing:<br>
ds = gdal.Open(file)<br>
drivertype=ds.GetDriver().LongName<br>
<br>
returns<br>
ERROR 4:
`C:/tmp/SrcData/2010Data/MODISData/MOD03/MOD03.A2010002.1810.005.2010258062733.hdf'
not recognised as a supported file format.<br>
<br>
Is this file format not supported?<br>
<br>
thanks<br>
matt<br>
