My first question is, what is a good alternative to ECW files
for use on
<br>
QGIS?

<br>
Geotiff should always work on QGIS. BTW, write support for ECW is
still limited without a license.

<br>
OK. GeoTiff sound good.<br>

The second question, how do I convert the ECW file into this
format
<br>
without using a propriety software package?
<br>

<br>
Ubuntugis still holds ecw packages for GDAL 1.10 on raring,
quantal, precise and lucid. So you can set up a virtual box inside
your OS with one of those ubuntu versions, and install GDAL 1.10
with ECW support inside it to convert ecw files to Geotiff format.
Data exchange between the virtual box and your host OS is possible
with shared folders.

<br>
OK. Thanks.<br>
