Yeah I'd recommend simple MJPEG/PCM for now as something that "works as-is" with some limitations[1], but investing a little time and effort on things like MOX or JPEG2000-in-MXF / Dirac-in-MXF might be wise for the future.

[1] no 4:2:2, 4:4:4, or alpha; highest qual settings are still much lower bandwidth and presumably quality than the ProRes generation. Probably still suitable for many purposes though.

I second what Sebastian said -- glad we could revive Wikivideo-L to have deeper technical discussions like this that don't annoy the multimedia-L list. 

When I have more time, I'd like to test our more of what Brion said. The solution may be right under our nose with older, but tested, solutions like MJPEG/PCM, though we'd still be requiring pretty fast bandwidth to deal with them.

This is also the basis of the 'DCP' format used for distribution to
theatres with digital projectors, so there's simplicity in standardizing
that for archival of finished films.

Of course JPEG 2000 and MXF both specification with gratis distribution,
but I'm not aware of any patent restrictions on implementations.
