Another thing- good luck with trying to get access to Grass Valley SDK. It seams to be impossible, even if such a thing does exist.

Several years ago I was quoted a price for licensing the HQX SDK, around $25K IIRC. Never went so far that I had engineers able to review it and determine its capabilities.
It's a very painful codec in so many ways. Lots of in-the-wild files I've seen didn't even have proper field order or aspect ratio metadata! Maybe there are in some sort of bitstream level private metadata or something.
I don't know why anyone would want to make new files in that format given those challenges and its relative inefficiency, but at least ffmpeg now appears to have a good decoder.
