I am really new to gdal and have a real simple kml file. I tested this kml file in google earth and there was no problem displaying it. But when I try to rasterize it I get the following error:
"text.kml not recognized as a supported file format".
My command is:
gdal_rasterize -of "Gtiff" -burn 255 -burn 0 -burn 0 -burn 127 -init 0 -init 0 -init 0 -init 0 -ot Byte -ts 800 800 test.kml test.tiff
Does anyone know what I did wrong?
Update:

So only KML overlay is found. How do configure gdal so that a "normal" KML is read?
