Yasha,

There are many exotic remote sensing and geospatial formats supported by
OpenEV that are not handled by standard utilities.  A list of OpenEV/GDAL
supported formats is available at:

   http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html

though not all of those formats would be supported by the FWTools for linux
version of OpenEV.
