FAQ
SID to DIS Conversion
What are SID files?
MrSID (Multiresolution Seamless Image Database) is a compressed raster format for high-resolution geospatial imagery. Developed by LizardTech, it uses wavelet compression to efficiently store aerial/satellite images, maps, and large documents while supporting fast zooming and geospatial data.
What are DIS files?
The DIS extension is associated with the DKB Ray-Tracer, a piece of software originally created by David Kirk Buck and Aaron A. Collins, which served as a predecessor for the POV Ray-Tracer. The latter software has the capacity to generate images from text-based scene descriptions and works on various platforms. Though fairly popular on PC/MS-DOS platforms at its release, the DIS format is now obsolete. It can, however, be viewed and converted to more accessible formats.
