GraphicsMagick is good at writing DPX metadata, but it also rewrites 
all of the pixel data (slow).  Since DPX uses a fixed header, 
dedicated software optimized for re-writing the DPX headers would get 
the job done a lot faster.  The ability to do this is one of the 
advantages of DPX over most other formats.
