Quick Recap

The meeting covered various topics related to Star Wars experiences, file compression techniques, and upcoming releases. Discussions included analyzing sample files, improving encoder performance, and considering different approaches to compression, including lossless and lossy methods. The team also addressed the implementation of new compression types, potential changes to file formats, and the rewrite of Python binding CMake for Imath.

Next Steps

  • Pierre-Anthony to propose a patch against the HT J2K branch broadening the heuristics for RGB detection.

  • Pierre-Anthony to study the example file sent by Cary.

  • Cary to merge the HT J2K branch into the main branch after Pierre-Anthony's patch.

  • Cary to rename the codec during the merge process.

  • Larry to add a nightly CI test for OpenImageIO that builds against the HT J2K branch of OpenEXR.

  • LI to attempt building OpenJPH with the PIC flag, then build OpenEXR and OpenImageIO on top of it.

  • Kimball to review Cary's rewrite of the Python binding CMake setup for Imath.
