See below. The openJPEG encoder crashes under Windows:

I have been using openDCP many times without any issues. So I guess a recent windows update might have caused the trouble? Might re-compiling it with a more recent openJPEG lib fix it? I'd be happy to re-compile it if you have instructions how to compile it under Windows (especially how to get the other libs). I'm also trying to get it back to work under Ubuntu Jammy (I'm usually doing it all under linux).

The code needs some work to compile as many of the libraries have changed. You could try using the Kakadu executables instead of OpenJPEG. You can download them from Kakadu Software. Once installed, select Kakadu and so long as kdu_compress is in your path, it should work.
