<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>

Gdal will only work if it is pre-compiled with ECW support. I have
spend a couple of days already trying to source or build a version
of gdal that 'see' ecw files.<br>

class="quote"> 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>
