Somehow a question/feature that was in my list.
When importing a DCP or MXF, give the option to reuse it without
recompression. I would do that kind of thing manually editing the CPL
and other metafiles, and for short films just easier to redo
everything.
And now that I understand that DOM is decompressing the image, how
about adding the feature of converting DCP in MP4/Prores?
That's long on a list. It just really doesn't fit into the DOM user-interface, so
I guess it should be a separate app/module.
Actually it can be done easily with FFMPEG
ffmpeg -i j2c.mxf -i pcm.mxf -vcodec prores -acodec pcm_s16le output.mov
(actually, this doesn't convert DCP/CPL, but only the MXF files, so, if there is no
1:1 relation between CPL playlist and MXF track, it will cause discontinuities. But it
works pretty good)
