Dear Yehuda Halfon<br>
<br>
The em2em converter (Image-Science.de) should do the trick but
storing (4-bit/8-bit?) MRC movies in tiff is not a good idea: very
few programs can handle tiff stacks. Moreover if the TIFFs are not
compressed you will not necessarily win any space. You are
probably best off using a standard loss-less compression program
("zip"), and convert them back when you need it again. You must
always keep your original raw data "forever" in a loss-less form.<br>

<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color:
#000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi there,
<div><br>
<div>We have a bunch of MRC movie files the are eating at out
storage, and since more are coming I was wondering if there
is a good way to convert them into tiff to save space?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I know that the best way is to save them directly as tif
from EPU/ serialEM and that is what we will to in the
future. But we need to find a solution to the ones we have
now. </div>

<div>Thanks, </div>
