Can you elaborate a bit of what "one block scanline" means? E.g., what is the actual tiling structure of this file? Does presence of compression affect the ability to do the subsampling? How about quality of the output? (e.g., is GDAL reading one pixel every N to generate the reduced resolution version?) Cheers Andrea -- == Our support, Your Success!
