Warning: The next image file directory at byte position 944016033 is at or beyond the end of the file.

When i run the following command:

imfinfo('PIVlab_panda_Cam01.tif');

I get the error message from the title.

The image file is large (600 MB), but available here for download + testing:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Vo7pDmXNsIfIjq_vPROo14D32DOyBZQe/view?usp=sharing

I do not understand what I can do about this or what it tells me. Any idea...? Can this be ignored?

All layers from this multitiff can be read without any issues in windows and in matlab. They are generated by a pco.panda camera.

The file is corrupt.

200 images can be read from it.

It also generates warnings,

Warning: TIFF library warning - 'TIFFReadDirectoryCheckOrder: Invalid TIFF directory; tags are not sorted in ascending order.'

Warning: TIFF library warning - 'TIFFReadDirectory: Unknown field with tag 50495 (0xc53f) encountered.'

I looked around but I was not able to find any tag 0xc53f anywhere, other than two reports here on MATLAB Central of other files with the same message.
