I do not consider JPEG 2000 to be a failure even if it did not displace the old JPEG in all applications. JPEG 2000 “succeeded” but not on the Web. Most people have probably seen more JPEG 2000s than all other image formats combined. Whenever you go watch a movie in theatres you see 24 of them every second; roughly 173,000 for a two hour feature. There were a few open implementations like OpenJPEG, which is the one I use.
