Thanks Jean-Claude for your reply as I could build your app. Here some 
feedback:

* original data show correct header with projection information
* data made from gdal show "raw" as DATUM and PROJ using ecwhed utilities:
>Datum = RAW
>Projection = RAW

What I don't understand is that QGIS or GDAL don't find it from the original 
data. Is it possible that there is some ECW specific projection information as 
ESRI one? I saw an ecw_cs.wkt file in the gdal data dir.

Any idea?

Thanks,

Y.
