Re: [Openexr-devel] Re: OpenEXR <-> Cineon/DPX

Hi Thomas, we thought about something like that, but we need
a solution that works immediately that keeps the process as
as automated as possible for Cinesite, and hence cheaper for us.
So we felt storing information in the individual exrs was the
best way to go.

Hopefully in the future we'll be able to deliver a seperate
file which describes how to shoot the entire sequence as you
suggest, but I feel that would be far enough away that ILM's
proposed method will probably be complete by then.
