Thanks for that David. I'd suspected that was the answer and at least I
won't waste any more time trying to work out how to do it!

I think the answer is no, although there is the ability to
read the newer motion JPEG2000 format, via the
IDLffMJPEG2000 object. Probably doesn't help you, though.

For what it is worth, the "special license" is free for
the asking.
