My first question is, what is a good alternative to ECW files for use on QGIS?
Geotiff should always work on QGIS. BTW, write support for ECW is still limited without a license.
The second question, how do I convert the ECW file into this format without using a propriety software package?
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.
