| Q: | What sources of data does your codec support? Can it read, for example, from the memory buffer? |
| A: | Yes. It can read from a file, memory buffer, exe-file resource or any custom data source. |
| | |
| Q: | What is the licensing policy? |
| A: | To put it simply, the registration is per developer (either an individual or organization). After you have purchased the J2K-Codec, you can use it in as many projects as you want. |
| | |
| Q: | What should I do with my personal registration key? |
| A: | Store it in a secure place and never give it to anyone. The registration key is used to remove demo version restrictions.
See the J2K-Codec help file for more information. |

| Q: | Why is the price so low? I mean, I've seen codecs for $11,000. |
| A: | This is a part of our mission—we believe that JPEG 2000 is a great thing, so we need to keep prices as low as possible to appeal to a broader market. The more people who use the JPEG 2000 standard, the better.
Note also that though our product is called "J2K-Codec" (reflecting our future plans), it is as yet only a decoder. |
| | |
| Q: | Does j2k-codec have backward compatibility with the old JPEG files? |
| A: | No. JPEG2000 is a revolutionary standard that changed almost everything. To support old JPEG would require writing another bunch of code. This would affect performance, would increase the price and would do nothing to bring about the quicker death of the good old JPEG format. :-) |
| | |
| Q: | Can I link J2K-Codec statically? |
| A: |
Yes, you can. Buy the static linking add-on now!
The static linking package consists of 4 LIB files (single-threaded / multithreaded, release / debug) in MSVC6.0 format and 2 LIB files (multithreaded release / debug) in VS.NET format. It also includes one C sample that links J2K-Codec statically.

| Q: | I found a bug. What should I do? |
| A: | Send it! Send it to us! We are perfection freaks and enjoy every new bug or suggestion. :-)
Seriously. |
| | |
| Q: | You keep calling it "codec", but (as I understand it) it's merely a decoder? |
| A: | Right. "J2K-Codec" is just a "reserved for the future" kind of name. |
| | |
| Q: | What about source code? |
| A: | Sorry, the source code is our know-how, and we don't plan to release it anytime soon. |
| | |
And if you need something special—do not hesitate to ask!
Remember, negotiation is always an option. :-) |
