gdal reading blank jp2 images

[vol]

Some JP2 images read/convert as all black, using the ECW ERDAS driver.

When we tile them(or read sub regions) in sizes of 2048x2048 only the first 8 images are good, rest of the image tiles are showing up as black with all zeroes in raster data.

The same issue is found when using gdal_translate. the output tif file is blank for about 60% of the image.

We have gdal configured for the exact driver "JP2ECW/ERDAS JPEG2000 (SDK 3.x)"

Our gdal version : GDAL 1.9.2, released 2012/10/08

We have the following formats ECW (rw): ERDAS Compressed Wavelets (SDK 3.x) JP2ECW (rw+v): ERDAS JPEG2000 (SDK 3.x)

The gdalinfo for one of the file gaving this issue:

Driver: JP2ECW/ERDAS JPEG2000 (SDK 3.x)
