Ahh, thank you for the link to the vrttut. This has got me going in the right direction. I actually did try the -of VRT but didn't know it was supposed to be a XML file so discounted it when the file was small.

So, my next problem is that when I run gdalwarp on the VRT file I get assertion errors like the following on about half of the tiles I try to create.

$ cat a
gdalwarp -srcnodata 0 -dstnodata 0 -s_srs +init=epsg:26916 -t_srs EPSG:4326 -te -86.25 38.3125 -86.1875 38.375 -rb -wm 250 --config GDAL_ONE_BIG_READ ON -co "TILED=YES" /var/data/tiler-tiffs/11234-1226164462/src/tmp.vrt a.tif

$ sh a
Creating output file that is 6150P x 6150L.
Processing input file /var/data/tiler-tiffs/11234-1226164462/src/tmp.vrt.

Is this because the tile extends outside the source image?

+-----------------+
|  src_image      |
|            +----------+
|            |  tile    |
|            |          |
|            +----------+
|                 |
+-----------------+

Or something similar to this? Any thoughts on the cause(s) and workarounds?

Thanks again for all the help.

Hi Steve,

No, VRT files are not Geotiff, see [1], and they should not take more than a bunch of 
Kbytes. The problem is that in *our* gdal_translate command line *we* forgot "-of 
vrt" and the default format is Geotiff.

   system("gdaltranslate -OF VRT $infile -b 1 -b 2 -b 3 tmp.vrt");

Good luck,

Ivan

OK, it took 2 hr 10 min to run: GDAL_SKIP=JPEG2000 gdal_translate
 /var/data/raw_data/minnesota/ortho_1-1_1m_j_mn161_2008_1.jp2  -b 1 -b 2
 -b 3 tmp.vrt
and the output file is 5.0 GB. And on top of this I still need to
 gdalwarp this VRT file a bunch of times to chop it into smaller tiles. I
 have hundreds of files to process. Any thoughts on how to speed this up?
