Dear developers:
I have some movie files store in mrc format. I would like to reduce the size so I convert them into tif format using
mrc2tif –s –c lzw movie_file.mrc movie_file.tif
However, after conversion, I can not align them using cisTEM.
The error is as follows:
============================================================================
Error. Unsupported sample format: 2. Filename = /home/users/phonchi/appo_10/test.tif, Directory # 0
Error. Unsupported sample format: 2. Filename = /home/users/phonchi/appo_10/test.tif, Directory # 1
Error. Unsupported sample format: 2. Filename = /home/users/phonchi/appo_10/test.tif, Directory # 2
Error. Unsupported sample format: 2. Filename = /home/users/phonchi/appo_10/test.tif, Directory # 3
Error. Unsupported sample format: 2. Filename = /home/users/phonchi/appo_10/test.tif, Directory # 4
Error. Unsupported sample format: 2. Filename = /home/users/phonchi/appo_10/test.tif, Directory # 5
....

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!
Hi,
This means that the tif format cannot be read by the released version of cisTEM. For example, 4-bit files cannot be read by the released version (although it will be readable in the next release). Are these files 4-bit?
Cheers,
Tim
Thanks for the reply! How do I check whether my mrcs or tiff is 4-bit files or not? If it is 4-bit files, does it mean that currently, I should not convert it into tiff files?
Thanks in advance!
