[Qgis-user] Re: [gdal-dev] Problems with gdal and hdf files

You are right. I was confusing bands and subdatasets.
The following does not work:
$ gdal_translate -b 4  lndsr.L5169054_05420101216.hdf test.tif
Input file contains subdatasets. Please, select one of them for reading.

The following works:
$ gdal_translate -sds lndsr.L5169054_05420101216.hdf test.tif
which results in test.tif1 to test.tif9 (probably should be test1.tif
to test9.tif)

but there is no way to actually select 1 or more specific subdatasets

The most important
QGIS complains:
Cannot get GDAL raster band:

R (raster) complains
> r <- brick("lndsr.L5169054_05420101216.hdf")
Error in .rasterObjectFromFile(x, objecttype = "RasterBrick", ...) :
  Cannot create a RasterLayer object from this file.
In addition: Warning message:
In .rasterFromGDAL(x, band = band, objecttype, ...) :
  GeoTransform values not available; georeferencing will not be correct
>

but GDALinfo() is correct.
Cannot test hdf5 or readGDAL() in R as the file is huge

I guess the problem is in QGIS (and R package raster)? I'm not sure,
as I do not know if
subdatasets can be selected for reading using gdal.
