[Qgis-user] How to convert ECW using open source packages into something else?

[Nicolas Cadieux]

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?

    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?
