And you have shown convincingly that there is a better alternative 
to one existing jpeg2000 implementation. It will be no problem to 
write a faster one if you have the time (or the money), I am not sure 
if compression will be better than with current libopenjpeg.

Note that the issues with jpeg2000 are of course nothing against the 
issues that mxf has, iirc you already know that there are as many 
interpretations of the standard as implementations, don't you?

And regarding the "professional" solutions: Please ask them to show 
you how to get the original content back after encoding once;-)
