[gdal-dev] Converting to J2K

According to http://www.gdal.org/formats_list.html , GDAL supports  
four flavors of JPEG2000, four different implementations of wavelet  
compression, based on JasPer, Kakadu, ECW, and MrSID. Two of these  
four are available to me
gdal_translate | grep 2000
   JP2KAK: JPEG-2000 (based on Kakadu)
   JPEG2000: JPEG-2000 part 1 (ISO/IEC 15444-1)
Which of these four are available to you?

When creating and writing a JPEG2000 file, use -of to specify which of  
the available flavors you want GDAL to use.
/usr/bin/time gdal_translate -of JPEG2000 18stj940125.tif  
18stj940125_gdalV162_of_JPEG200.jp2
Input file size is 5000, 5000
0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.

/usr/bin/time gdal_translate -of JP2KAK   18stj940125.tif  
18stj940125_gdalV162_of_JP2KAK.jp2
Input file size is 5000, 5000
0...10...20...30...40...50...60...70...80...90...100 - done.
