There is a lot of junk in DPX, so I favour separating the bits out
that are useful and including them, if something is missed, then
simply add it to the allowed list of attributes, i.e. have an
attribute registry kind of like OpenGL has that is separate from the
main file format, that way you can add things when you need to without
a major update.

memcopy only works if your endian matches... so I'd say don't do it,
DPX comes in two flavours although the vast majority are big-endian in
my experience.
