Digital Cinema DCP playback

Digital Cinema Packages(DCP) is the format chosen for playback movies in 
cinemas. The goal is to implement handling of DCP in VLC, this will be 
used topreview and playback of movies. This work will be part of a 
research topic dedicated to propose a FOSS framework for 
independent/art-house theaters.

The DCP (size usually from 60 to 200 Gb) use MXF containers :
     - A MXF File for video encoded in JPEG2000 intra frame only in 2K 
or 4K image size with a framerate of at least 24 fps
     - MXF Files for audio in WAV. One MXF file per audio languages.
     - MXF Files for subtitles in XML or PNG. One MXF file per audio
      languages
The DCP is a directory with those MXF files and others XML files for 
meta-data.

A VLC module shall be written to handle DCP. The MXF containers is 
already implemented via libavformat. The JEPG2000 and WAV are handled by 
libavcodec.The module to write will be an access_demux one who reads the 
DCP directory as input and video, audio, and subtitles (when avlb) 
elementary streams as output.
The decoder for subtitle shall be implemented also.

This project is the continuation of student project in engineering school

Requires: C and VLC knowledge, basic undestanding of video decoding,
libav/ffmpeg basics
