Additional DPX support

It looks like there is support for DPX within Exiftool, but I am wondering if it is possible to add support for a couple of additional tags within the DPX format.

For my workflow, I need to extract the metadata of one DPX from a large set DPX files. In addition to the tags already supported by Exiftool, I need:

Colorspace: Offset 800 Length 1 Unsigned (Value of 50 for RGB)
Film Rate: Offset 1724 Length 4 Floats (32-bit Real Number)

Thank you.

Sure, I can do this.  I'll call these tags ComponentsConfiguration (since it conveys the same information to the EXIF ComponentsConfiguration tag), and FrameRate.

This addition will appear in ExifTool 9.96, which should be released next weekend.  Please let me know how it works for you.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Excellent! Thank you so much. This will be a big help.
