GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 677699
Add native support for JPEG2000
Last modified: 2012-06-08 12:52:35 UTC
FinalCut Pro supports to JPEG2000, and a number of hardware cameras now come with JPEG2000 as the main codec (or an alternative). There is some support in gst-ffmpeg, and ffmpeg itself through libopenjpeg, but quite low resolution videos such as this one: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/mov/FCP/JPEG2000.mov are unplayable (video decoding too slow?). A native MPJEG2000/JPEG2000 decoder in GStreamer could help solve those problems. libjasper is an alternative to libopenjpeg for support (I've used it for JPEG2000 support in gdk-pixbuf).
(Should we add a dependency on bug 639231 for this one?)
There are jasper based JPEG2000 encoder and decoder elements in gst-plugins-bad since a long time now.
Indeed. The playback was about as bad as through MPlayer, so I wrongly assumed that it was the same codec.
Filed bug 677701 about the performance problem.
