[mapserver-users] OT: Batch Convert MrSID

[Hankley, Chip]

Armin... that works pretty well... but I can't seem to figure out how to
make it save geometry... either as a .tfw, or geotiff. Were you able to
figure that out?

Chip,

The free image viewer IrfanView has plug-ins (separately to download)
including MrSid support. It can do batch conversions. It's a bit slow
reading MrSid and uses quite some memory but it works.
