Hello Cathy,
MapInfo can read the ECW compression type natively, but to get the ECW headers out automatically, you will need a plugin to do so for you.  There is a free one available through the ER Mapper website called MapImagery: http://www.ermapper.com/downloads/download_view.aspx?PRODUCT_VERSION_ID=64
This will allow MI to pull out the header information and automatically create the TAB needed for registration.  I hope that helps you out.

Subject: [MI-L] opening ECW in mapinfo 8
  
Hi List
I seem to be having a problem with what seems like a simple task.  I am opening an .ecw file in mapinfo prof 8.0 and i was told that .ecw have their registration data embeded in them.  But mapinfo asks me to register it.
Has anyone experienced this problem?  If so can anyone help me solve this?
 
Thanks a million
:) cathy
