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.
OK. GeoTiff sound good.
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.
OK. Thanks.
