[Qgis-user] Assigning/warping projections

[Lee Mueller]

I have been attempting to force an ECW raster file into a desired
projection. The metadata associated with the file seems to suggest it is in
EPSG:3078. However, whenever I try to use the in-qgis gdal features to warp
the file to EPSG:26917, I tend to get the "no affine transformation" error.
I have also tried using the terminal in order to complete this process, with
no success.

Initially I figured the input ECW might not have a projection assigned. I
attempted to assign a projection using:
gdal_translate in.ecw out.ecw -a_srs EPSG:3078 (I tried with quotes,
without, etc)

While this seemed to be successful in assigning a projection, I was given
"unsupported format" errors on any attempts to load the file into qgis.

So, in this case, where I believe the initial file does not have a
designated projection, how can I get around these errors to assign one, and
eventually warp the file to EPSG:26917?
