Summary	0001693: Ability to force J2K re-encode per item of content
Description	A recent(ish) version of DCP-o-matic added the "Re-encode JPEG2000 data from input" checkbox to force re-encoding of J2K frames. It would be useful in some cases to be able to specify that only specific pieces of content should be force re-encoded, rather than a blanket all-or-nothing. This can be useful when e.g. adding a production company logo onto the start of an existing DCP. If the logo has higher bitrate than you want, it's good to be able to force re-encode of that at a lower bitrate, without having to re-encode the whole film as well. This would involve moving the checkbox to the "Content" tab rather than "DCP".
