[Qgis-user] Problems with Rasterize Gdal Plugin

[Etienne Tourigny]

If you do "gdalinfo --formats" you will see which raster formats
support Create and Update (which gdal_rasterize and gdalwarp require)
- this is indicated by 'w+'

  GTiff (rw+v): GeoTIFF
  AAIGrid (rwv): Arc/Info ASCII Grid


--formats
List all raster formats supported by this GDAL build (read-only and
read-write) and exit. The format support is indicated as follows: 'ro'
is read-only driver; 'rw' is read or write (ie. supports CreateCopy);
'rw+' is read, write and update (ie. supports Create). A 'v' is
appended for formats supporting virtual IO (/vsimem, /vsigzip,
/vsizip, etc). Note: The valid formats for the output of gdalwarp are
formats that support the Create() method (marked as rw+), not just the
CreateCopy() method.
