A few people had run into some issues (e.g. "Parameter is not valid." exception) using the utility. After some investigation, it turned out that the cause seemed to be related to the EncoderValue I used (CompressionCCITT4). Apparently, it does not work on all computers.

To get around this issue, you will need to change the ENCODING_SCHEME (in MSUtil.cs, line 49) to

EncoderValue.CompressionLZW

The draw back is that the compression ratio of this compression scheme is pretty poor and the merged TIFF file is significantly larger.

It can be used to combine multiple TIFF files (multi-frame or single-frame) into a single multi-frame TIFF file, or split a single multi-frame TIFF file into many single frame TIFF files. To make it easier to use, I have created both a Windows and command line utility. The command line utility can be used for batch conversion. For downloads and instructions, please take a look at this page for more details.
