Dear OIIO Devs,

since this is my first post here, I would like to thank you for this superb
tool!

I'm building a VFX pipeline and I need to convert ProRes 4444 files to exr
sequences. FFmpeg does the job, but color management is not very well
documented, OpenColorIO is not supported and I could not even get a
intermediate TIF sequence that I can convert to EXR with a color output
that I can control with consistently. So I tried to use oiiotool for the
job, but when I run

`oiiotool test.mov -sisplit -o:all=1 test.%d.exr`

oiiotool hangs. It loads all the CPUs to 100% (mostly waiting for io) and
starts to fill the RAM, rather slowly. My uneducated guess is that oiio
uncompresses all the subimages to RAM before it writes them out to disk.
Even if my assumption is right it is prohibitively slow, so slow in fact
that I didn't even have the time yet to test my theory. (My 516 frames long
2K test file is running for 35 minutes now)

My question is that is this the intended behavior (for now of course) or
I'm doing something wrong? Could it be a problem with my build (oiio 2.0.7,
gcc 8.2.1, ffmpeg 4.1.1, Arch Linux)? If oiiotool is not production ready
in this sense, then maybe you have some information on integrating ffmpeg
into an ocio pipeline, and you can point me to the right direction, which I
would really appreciate.

Tanks a lot,
Mate Birkas
