<p dir="ltr">Hi,<br>
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? </p>

Hello,<br />
<br />
I have recently tried to get QGIS to work with ECW files.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
As an alternative, I would like to pose the following couple of
questions...<br />
<br />
My first question is, what is a good alternative to ECW files for
use on QGIS?<br />
<br />
The second question, how do I convert the ECW file into this format
without using a propriety software package?<br />
<br />

Cheers Simon <br />
