I once try it out, and write the PixelData as binary stream. I could 
read it with mplayer without a warning...

If you find an opensource/BSD compatible lib let me know. The current 
problem is (like jpeg-ls) is they expect a filename as input. Whereas in 
our case we should be carefull on memory usage, fragments ... so either 
loading the whole data or simply dealing is FILE* is tricky.

2 cents,

Ps: but since JPEG2000 is done, I should be able to return to this lib.
