Converting ENVI file to TIFF using ArcPy

Question

I have ENVI files one ASCII file .hdr and a flat_binary raster file which is a file without an extension
I'd like to convert them to TIFF files
These are the steps I followed:

Rename flat_binary raster file by adding “.dat”
Keep the pair of files in the same directory
Then, I wrote this code

import arcpy
ndvi_file="G:datatestMYD13A2_A2006201_MED_1km.dat"
ndvi_tiff_file="G:datatestdata_tiff"
arcpy.RasterToOtherFormat_conversion(ndvi_file, ndvi_tiff_file, "TIFF")

But I didn't get the converted File
I'm getting this error
Failed to convert: <built-in function input>. ERROR 999999: Error executing function.
Failed to execute (CopyRaster)

Is there anything missing?

Can ArcMap read the .dat file (it reads ENVI format without conversion).
Have you tried specifying the .tif extension on the output? The Copy Raster tool requires the .tif extension on the output path.
Also "TIFF" is an incorrect parameter in that spot. try format="TIFF" (if you need it, honestly, I think the file extension should do the trick). (UPDATE sorry, I didn't see you were using this batch copy tool)
