Good morning,

My name is Maria Perez, and I work at Doga Dernegi (Turkish partner of BirdLife International) in the 'Black Sea seabirds Project' for proposing marine IBAS.

Through the website I found your geoprocessing toolbox (MGET), which is really very good and useful for my research. I am using this tool for converting habitat variable data from Ocean Color Web to arcgis raster and until now the tool has been running without problem. 

The procedure I follow all the time is: I download the files in HDF4 from the web site, following in ArcGIS 10 where I use Conversion Tool (Convert SDS in HDF to ArcGIS Raster) of MGET.

But now, I have downloaded two variables in HDF5 format and MGET doesn't work. Everytime I try to convert these data to raster the dialog box says 'the file is not a HDF file'.

Do you know which is the problem? Does this toolbox work with HDF 5 file?. Because I have checked that ArcGIS 10 works with this kind of files.

Thank you very much in advanced,

Maria
