There is a known issue with the h4toh5 software, where some HDF4 files converted to HDF5 cannot be read by HDF5. The issue has been found with HDF-EOS NASA AIRS and MODIS data.

The issue is an HDF5 bug (issue HDFFV-10274) that can be resolved by building the h4toh5 software with HDF5-1.8.20. If you are encountering this problem and need help building the h4toh5 software, please do not hesitate to contact the HDF Helpdesk.

Binary Installation Details

The conversion utilities have different names when they are built with CMake rather than configure. When built with CMake the utilities are named h4toh5convert and h5toh4convert. With configure, they are named h4toh5 and h5toh4.

On Windows, you must uncompress the zip file, and run the enclosed msi file to install the h4toh5 conversion software. The binary utilities are found in the bin directory.
