Converting MXF back to TIFF

Hi there. Does this tool have the ability to convert a DCP (specifically the MXF wrapped J2K) back to TIFF or any other uncompressed format?

Hi there,
It does not. It's not too hard to do that from the command line, if you are so inclined. What platform are you using?

OSX or Linux

I've started writing some notes on how to this here. Let me know if you try it ...

There is a simple way to do this with FFMPEG, I created some ProRes-Files from DCPs (MXFs) this way:

ffmpeg -i j2c.mxf -i pcm.mxf -vcodec prores -acodec pcm_s16le output.mov

However, this only works for DCPs with a 1:1 CPL-MXF relationship, that is, no offsets, etc. in the CPL for audio or video.

Uncompressed image sequence should work just as well.
