Preservation issues[edit]

JPEG2000 image compression ranges from completely lossless to very lossy.
Florida digital Archive has "high confidence level" in ability to preserve losslessly compressed JP2 files: FDA Recommended Data File Formats.
JPEG2000 has limited support for colour profiles: See Ensuring the suitability of JPEG 2000 for preservation.

-*OpenJPEG 1.4 ([http://www.openjpeg.org/])
-*OpenDCP ([http://code.google.com/p/opendcp/])
-This workflow is designed around digital cinema package (DCP) production.
-Most of the open-source tools are based around DCP since they're being
-designed by indie filmmakers.
-OpenDCP is a utility for creating DCPs. The [http://www.cinecert.com/asdcplib/ AS-DCP library] and the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/mxflib/ mxflib library] it's based on are possibilities
-for someone with more programming skills than me to build an
-archives-targeted tool.
-The disadvantage to this route is that DCPs use separate files for audio
-and video, accompanied by an XML file describing the pair, which might
-make playback less convenient than a single AV MXF. The available tools
-are also targeted more to film framerates, and I'm not sure if it's
-possible to obtain a video FPS like 29.97 using unmodified tools.
-Step 1: Decoding source video
-The source video should be decoded into a series of single frames before
-being encoded into JPEG2000. This can be done using Ffmpeg.
-<code>ffmpeg -i invideo -vcodec tiff f%10d.tif</code>
-This will produce one file for every frame in the video. Why do we do
-this? Well, the various Motion JPEG2000 formats are essentially a series
-of single JPEG2000 files; each frame will be encoded to JPEG2000 before
-multiplexing into a video.
-The audio should be decoded to uncompressed WAV. This is a simple process
-so I won't go into much detail here. The command should be a variant of
-<code>ffmpeg -i invideo outfile.wav</code>
-Step 2: Create JP2 frames
-Next, these frames should be compressed into JPEG2000. Note that this will
-'''not''' be done using OpenJPEG's support for Motion JPEG2000! Motion
-JPEG2000 is a specific container for single JPEG2000 frames, while MXF
-wraps its frames in a different way. Technically, JPEG2000/MXF
-is considered a separate format.
-<code>image_to_j2k -ImgDir directory -OutFor j2c</code>
-This will create JP2 frames using the default lossless compression frames,
-but you may wish to customize this. Frames will be saved as .j2c files in
-the same directory as the TIFF frames.
-Step 3: Create MXF file
-<code>opendcp_mxf -i image_directory -r framerate -o video.mxf
-opendcp_mxf -i audio.wav -o audio.mxf
-opendcp_xml --reel video.mxf audio.mxf</code>
-This will produce two MXFs, one containing video and one containing audio.
-The third command creates an accompanying XML file, mainly targeted at
-digital projectors.
-===Method two: GStreamer===
-GStreamer can encode to and from JPEG2000 MXF. By default it uses JasPer
-as the JP2 encoder, which has some limitations. I believe there may be a
-project underway to replace JasPer with OpenJPEG. GStreamer's commandline
-utility also has very inconvenient syntax; it's designed primarily to be
-used as a library to be called by custom programs. The gst-launch utility
-is mainly meant for debug purposes. For production would be best to write
-a custom archives-oriented converter based on Gstream rather than use the
-gst-launch utility.
-The advantage to GStreamer is that it provides all of the required
-functionality, and can go straight from a source video to producing an
-output.
-On the other hand, GStreamer currently uses JasPer for JP2 encoding. It
-may be better to use it in conjunction with an external JP2 encoder.
-Requirements:
-*GStreamer ([http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org])
-*gst-plugins-bad
-The GStreamer debug utility is based around a chain of smaller tools
-chained together. Here's a sample command which takes a video-only file,
-in QuickTime format with PNG video, and turns it into a JPEG2000 MXF:
-<code>gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=video.mov ! qtdemux ! pngdec !
-ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale ! jp2kenc ! mxfmux ! filesink
-location=video.mxf</code>
-This goes through a series of steps to get from your source video to the
-encoded video. This example does:
-*filesrc location=video.mov : Tells gst-launch where to find the source video
-*qtdemux : Demultiplexes the video. This means that it "opens" the container and extracts the tracks inside it, making them available to the other GStreamer tools
-*pngdec : Decodes PNG compressed video into uncompressed video
-*ffmpegcolorspace : Interprets the colour space in the video. Necessary to be able to pass it to other tools
-*videoscale : Negotiates the size of the video. When used with no arguments, it just ensures the next tool knows what the size is
-*jp2kenc : Encodes the video stream to JPEG 2000. You can specify the settings here if you want
-*mxfmux : Combines (multiplexes) the streams being processed into an MXF container
-*filesink location=video.mxf : Saves the video to a "filesink", e.g. a location on the hard drive
-The exact commands will depend on the source video. You can also do a
-combined audio/video file, but the commands for that are kind of complex
-and, to be honest, I haven't quite gotten my head around it yet.
-You can also decode and convert videos using GStreamer. Here's a sample
-command to convert the previous video to MPEG-4 with default settings:
-<code>gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=video.mxf ! mxfdemux name=d d. !
-jp2kdec ! ffmpegcolorspace ! videoscale ! ffenc_mpeg4 ! filesink
-location=video.mp4</code>
-===Method three: GStreamer + OpenJPEG===
-Requirements:
-*GStreamer
-*gstreamer-plugins-bad
-*FFmpeg
-*OpenJPEG
-As I mentioned before, GStreamer's JP2 encoder isn't ideal right now.
-However, you can easily encode a video with another tool and wrap it into
-MXF using GStreamer.
-First, extract your video to frames with ffmpeg as described above, then
-compress them to JP2 frames using the following command:
-<code>image_to_j2k -ImgDir directory -OutFor j2k</code>
-You should then wrap them into an MJ2 video using the following command:
-<code>wrap_j2k_in_mj2 directory video.mj2</code>
-This will produce a single MJ2 file using the frames you extracted. By
-default the framerate will be 25fps, which is probably wrong - consult the
-OpenJPEG documentation to find out how to set the framerate.
-You can then open this video file using GStreamer and rewrap the frames
-into an MXF using a command like the following:
-<code>gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=video.mj2 ! mj2demux ! mxfmux ! filesink
-location=video.mxf</code>
-This will produce an MXF with the contents as your video - no
-recompression or loss of quality. Hooray!
-===Areas for future work===
-GStreamer seems ripe for someone to develop a custom, archives-oriented video conversion program. Any volunteers?
