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?

Gdal will only work if it is pre-compiled with ECW support. I have spend 
a couple of days already trying to source or build a version of gdal 
that 'see' ecw files.

    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?
