Updated AV3 MrSid Extension RE: [OKGIS] County Mosaics

[David W. Wheelock]

Hi Brett
 
I went through this a few weeks ago with some AV3 users here at my
agency.
 
The 2006 and 2005 NAIP photos use a new format of SID file.  The
standard ArcView 3.X MrSid viewer extension cannot view them.  However,
you can download a free update of the extension from LizardTech, here.

l&platform=win
 
Don't know about ArcExplorer.  Probably out of luck, since a free
product.  ESRI's new product ArcGIS Explorer 9.2, a Google Earth
knock-off, ought to be able to view it.  It's my understanding that it
will be available to the general public in the future, but right now
it's only available to licensed ArcGIS users.
 
Cheers,
David

Subject: [OKGIS] County Mosaics


We recently downloaded the 2006 Rogers county mosaic from geo.ou.edu
 
We are having problems viewing this .sid file in ArcView 3.3 and
ArcExplorer. (error message = "not valid image file")
 
Can anyone direct us to some information that may help resolve this
issue?
