The way I've gone about this before is to use the standalone MrSID viewer from www.lizardtech.com
1) Open the SID file in the stand-alone viewer. Choose File - Export and select as destination for the TIF file the directory containing the MrSID file. The TIF file is significantly larger than the MrSID file but can be disposed of later. 2) Three files are created in the target drive. � A TIF file. TIF files are usable in other image editing applications. � A TWF file. Arcinfo uses this to automatically georegister TIF files. � A TAB file. This is used by MapInfo to georegister the TIF file. 3) Delete the TIF file, unless you want it. The MrSID file contains the same information but is significantly smaller 4) Edit the TAB file in Notepad (or similar). Under the heading Definition Table There is the path to the TIF file. Edit this to point to the MrSID file instead. 5)Using the TAB file in MapInfo should now open the MrSID file with the correct co-ordiantes.
