In general, the GDAL framework supports more than 1 driver per image format and uses whatever is first in the loaded queue, I believe. On Monday, November 25, 2013 2:15:39 PM UTC-8, Michael Aye wrote:
Read on, it says:
"However, it is not free, and so normally builds of GDAL from source will not include support for this driver unless the builder purchases a license for the library and configures accordingly. GDAL includes another JPEG2000 driver<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gdal.org%2Ffrmt_jpeg2000.html&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNHdAkE6m_v28BbHHbf3BW0aMpjBSg> based on the free JasPer library."

What about the OpenJPEG library: http://www.openjpeg.org<http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.openjpeg.org&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNER3CcvIjOEzdDID3pyA5Q1ks5LPw>. Could that be an alternative?
If this is the driver that is exposed by GDAL, it's far too slow and crashy for HiRISE images.
