Interesting... Thanks for the insights. And about performance, if I have 1000 JPEG files forming a mosaic, and want to run gdal tools over that mosaic, which option should I choose? - Build real merged tif file (gdal_merge) - Build virtual raster (gdalbuildvrt) For example, if I want to run gdal

Hello, What's the difference between gdal_merge and gdalbuildvrt? If I'm not wrong, gdal_merge actually creates a new dataset, merging the input ones. And gdalbuildvrt just creates a VRT file, which works as descriptor for a mosaic. At the end, in both cases we have a mosaic from several inp
