I was hoping to have them done late today. The darn program locked up last night at 8:45 so we lost 12 hours of process time. With luck they will be done tomorrow morning.
The compression part is amazing. We start with a 1.6 Gig tif file and shrink it down to a 95 MB file. It is a file format called Mr Sid. It is very common in the mapping world. We have to pay for every MB of compression with a software cartridge. The really amazing part is how well it works. You have to zoom way in to see any compression artifacts and they are minimal. Each of the original 1.6 Gig files takes 16 minutes to compress. 130 files is about 35 hours of CPU time.
