EDIT: it is seeming like some of the time my last method will lead to a correct projection, some of the time it will not. Unsure what's happening there but at least trial and error will get me through what I'm doing now. Any suggestions for a more robust method would be appreciated.
apologies if this has been answered somewhere, but I've not found a solution I could get working.
I have a DEM file that I need to change the projection of, and then export for use in another program (accepts gdal). I am using QGIS. I can import it to QGIS and change the projection no problem, but cannot figure out how to export the result for rasters (fine for vectors).
I have tried using the clipper to save a copy, however this changes the projection to WGS84, defeating the purpose. I have set the project to my projection of choice AGD66, and in Settings/Options have set all options to this projection. The clipper always converts to EPSG:4326 - WGS 84. I have tried both with and without on the fly reprojections.
I have tried to use the GRASS plugin and use r.out.gdal.gtiff and r.out.gdal, however output files are all blank.
Through the Sextante toolbox I have tried GDAL Conversion/Translate however this too puts everything in EPSG:4326 - WGS 84. The option "Override the projection for the output file" with AGD66 selected led to the error
An error has occured while executing Python code:

I thought I had a solution using Raster/Converstion/Translate (convert format) as this runs and lets me set the Target SRS, however the output is still EPSG:4326 - WGS 84. I do get the following error
Warning 6: A dataset opened by GDALOpenShared should have the same filename (C:\Users...\demh\w001001x.adf) and description (C:...\demh)
Any suggestions for how I can get raster data OUT of QGIS would be very much appreciated. Or - if you can't get data out of QGIS, can you suggest an alternative free GIS system that works nicely with projections? I have tried SAGA, however have not had much luck getting reprojections to work properly.
Thanks
