My reason for that was that I thought other users who are interested
in j2k (there at least seem to be a few that are interested in using
ffmpeg to create DCP packages without the daunting slowness of the
openjpeg encoder, which I am too) would more likely see the answer
there and I assumed that the person most likely knowing the answer
(i.e. Michael) would follow ffmpeg-user but I can cross-post in these
cases in the future.
