Hi,
You could use gdal translate directly I imagine and try to figure out why
it's not working from there. I would use a tiff format. Have you tried on
another computer?

Hello,
I have recently tried to get QGIS to work with ECW files.
Despite several days of multiple
installs/reinstalls/uninstalls/lib-upgrades/etc I have not managed
to get ECW to be opened by QGIS. This is really frustrating as I am
keen to use QGIS on an upcoming project.
As an alternative, I would like to pose the following couple of
questions...
My first question is, what is a good alternative to ECW files for
use on QGIS?
The second question, how do I convert the ECW file into this format
without using a propriety software package?
