Yes, I think Motion JPEG-2000 is going to become useful, when the rest
of the software world catches up with the pioneers like IDL. But note
that there are already quite a few ways of storing an animation
losslessly. They include:

- FLC (8-bit colour only)
- Multi-frame TIFF files
- Sequences of PNG files
- Lossless AVI codecs like Huffyuv, Lagarith and MSUD
- The plain old Microsoft RLE and Video 1 AVI codecs are as
close to lossless as anyone needs if you set the quality
level high enough. They support 8-bit and 16-bit colour
respectively. They are supported by lots of players.
