[Gdal-dev] gdal_merge w/ ECW output? -plain text

[admin at landsat.com]

Hi,

I am trying to use gdal_merge and output to ECW and JPEG2000. I am using Windows 2000 professional and OpenEV 1.6.3_FW. 
Here is my error;

python.exe gdal_merge.py -o test6.ecw -f ECW -co BA1S.tif BA1SE.tif
ERROR 6: GDALDriver::Create() ... no create method implemented for this format.
Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "gdal_merge.py", line 381, in ?
 t_fh.SetGeoTransform( geotransform )
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'SetGeoTransform'

How can I add ECW & JPEG2000 formats to gdal_merge.py?

Thanks,
Dan Spotskey
