Screencast - Loading Data into GRASS with QGIS
Submitted by Gary Sherman on Wed, 2007-10-17 22:00.
This screencast shows you how to load vector and raster data into GRASS using the QGIS-GRASS plugin.
This screencast is ~ 9 minutes long and includes importing a shapefile and TIFF into a GRASS mapset.
The screencast is available at:
http://gisalaska.com/qgis_movies/qgis_grass_2.html
Errata:
Please note that I use the words layer and map interchangeably. Strictly speaking, in GRASS a mapset contains maps and a map contains one or more layers.
At one point the raster bands are referred to as mapsets - this is incorrect. They are individual layers within the raster map.

Screencast qgis_grass_2html problem?
I followed along with qgis_grass_2 and had no problem adding the cities layer to GRASS (GRASS 6.3.0 and QGIS 0.11.0 on a Windows Vista machine). The world mosaic file (ev11612_land_ocean_ice.tif from your website) loads ok into QGIS but doesn't convert to a GRASS layer.
Specifically, after loading the mosaic file (and seeing it on the screen in QGIS), I open the GRASS plugin toolbox. The "Raster file to be imported" is blank (unlike when I did the cities file). The ev11612_land_ocean_ice layer is checked in QGIS and visible on the screen, but doesn't show up in the GRASS Tool field. If I use the browser button on the form, point to the tif file, put in a name for the output map and Run, the tool terminates with an error:
r.in.gdal -o input=C:\Users\Matt\Documents\Cartography\World\ev11612_land_ocean_ice_8192.tif output=world_mosaic
Over-riding projection check
G_set_window(): Illegal latitude for North
Finished with error
Any idea why I can't reproduce the video?
