[Mapserver-users] Tiling a large raster

[Vincent Schut]

Matt,

gdal_translate is part of the gdal utilities and will do exactly what you want 
(I think). See http://remotesensing.org/gdal/gdal_utilities.html .

Info on the gdal support for ecw can be found at 
http://remotesensing.org/gdal/frmt_ecw.html , including a link to the 
ERmapper ecw page.

Regards,
Vincent Schut.
