[Qgis-user] MrSID on QGIS 2.6.,1, Mac OSK 10.10.1

[Randal Hale]

I think back when 1.8 was out there was a package to read Sid Files (I'm 
on linux currently).

I've fallen back to using http://www.lizardtech.com/downloads/category/ 
-> Geoexpress Command line utilities to decode sid to geotiff.

Not sure exactly how you could do that on a mac - maybe build a 
linux/windows VM to do the decompression. I hope at some point sid 
becomes available again - I wished I had to skill to make that happen.
