/** @mainpage DCP-o-matic
 *
 *  DCP-o-matic is a tool to create digital cinema packages (DCPs) from
 *  video files, or from sets of image files.  It is written in C++
 *  and distributed under the GPL.
 *
 *  Video files are decoded using FFmpeg (http://ffmpeg.org), so any video
 *  supported by FFmpeg should be usable with DCP-o-matic.  DCP-o-matic's output has been
 *  tested on numerous digital projectors.
 *
 *  DCP-o-matic allows you to crop black borders from movies, scale them to the correct
 *  aspect ratio and apply FFmpeg filters.  The time-consuming encoding of JPEG2000 files
 *  can be parallelised amongst any number of processors on the local host and any number
 *  of servers over a network.
 *
 *  DCP-o-matic can also make DCPs from still images, for advertisements and such-like.
 * 
 *  Parts of DCP-o-matic are based on OpenDCP (http://code.google.com/p/opendcp),
 *  written by Terrence Meiczinger.
 *
 *  DCP-o-matic uses libopenjpeg (http://code.google.com/p/openjpeg/) for JPEG2000 encoding
 *  and libsndfile (http://www.mega-nerd.com/libsndfile/) for WAV file manipulation.  It
 *  also makes heavy use of the boost libraries (http://www.boost.org/).  ImageMagick
 *  (http://www.imagemagick.org/) is used for still-image encoding and decoding, and the GUI is
 *  built using wxWidgets (http://wxwidgets.org/).
 *
 *  Thanks are due to the authors and communities of all DCP-o-matic's dependencies.
