WCS output formats?

[Bart van den Eijnden (OSGIS)]

I can only answer one of your questions, Mapserver WCS does support output
formats other than Geotiff. We use it to output Geotiff, ECW and MrSID. Just
define the respective outputformats (ofcourse you need GDAL to be compiled
with those options as writeable formats):

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME "GEOTIFF"
    MIMETYPE "image/tiff"
    DRIVER "GDAL/GTiff"
    EXTENSION "tif"
    IMAGEMODE "RGBA"
    TRANSPARENT TRUE
    FORMATOPTION "COMPRESS=PACKBITS"
  END

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME "ECW"
    MIMETYPE "image/ecw"
    DRIVER "GDAL/ECW"
    EXTENSION "ecw"
    IMAGEMODE "RGB"
    TRANSPARENT FALSE
  END

  OUTPUTFORMAT
    NAME "MrSID"
    MIMETYPE "image/mrsid"
    DRIVER "GDAL/MrSID"
    EXTENSION "sid"
    IMAGEMODE "RGB"
    TRANSPARENT FALSE
  END

Best regards,
Bart
