 Hi List,
 I've created a GeoTIFF with GDAL. It works fine in QGIS and ArcMap, but
 MapInfo refuses to load it, giving me a Image file open error message.
 
 I've come across several problems and was wondering if anyone else had
 experience with GDAL created files in MapInfo.
 
 Problems:
 1) MapInfo can't handle compressed overviews ( *--config COMPRESS_OVERVIEW
 DEFLATE*) - I can easily get past this one by not compressing them.
 
 2) However, my next problem is that MapInfo can't read the projection
 information from within the file. Is GDAL capable of creating a TAB file?

Not currently. It can read them, and it is used in a few drivers such as GTiff. 
Writing is done only in the MapInfo TAB driver for the vector part. The 
writing of .tab for raster files would only be a matter of implementing it...

 
 3) Finally, while MapInfo will happily open my small subset sample (above
 issues not withstanding), it won't load my full image (about 2GB). Both are
 created using the exact same commands:
 
 gdalbuildvrt -srcnodata - -vrtnodata - -input_file_list
 
  asc_list.txt merged_vrt.vrt
 
 gdal_translate -of GTiff -co TILED=YES -co COMPRESS=DEFLATE -co
 
  BLOCKXSIZE=512 -co BLOCKYSIZE=512 -a_srs EPSG:27700 merged_vrt.vrt
  DSM_2012-13.tif
  gdaladdo -r average DSM_2012-13.tif 2 4 8 16 32 64
 
 It's not the overviews because it still happens when they're not generated.

Well, I don't know MapInfo limits with raster files. Perhaps is it just big 
raster dimensions that cause problem, or tiling, or .. ?

 
 Thoughts welcome,
 Jonathan

I guess it's size. I've tried with no compression, no tiles, and both no
compression or tiling, all fail. So I guess a MapInfo thing then.
Thanks,

What about using a world file for the projection info? It is an Esri
thing, but maybe MapInfo will recognize it. Just add a -co TFW=YES to
the gdal_translate command.

I may remember wrong and I do not have Mapinfo at hands now, but I bet that
it at least used to be so that you first _import_ GeoTIFFs with Mapinfo and
it creates a tab file. Later you can _open_ the tab. If that fails it may
mean that Mapinfo does not recognize the projection of the GeoTIFF.
