Is there a site you can recommend on DCP? I have a friend who has just signed a distribution deal for a docu, and the question of who does the DCP came up. She asked me, I'm asking the list. I know the encoding is JPEG2000, but that's about all.

I’m already a PC friend obviously, but I was contemplating get a bared bones SB Xeon Mac Pro as my Hackintosh is an el-cheapo Core 2 dual as I need a solid Mac in the shop for working with FCP projects that I create DCPs from and for some tasks related to my IMAX non-profit film.
 
But since said SB Xeon is not coming, my choices are now hoping people will unload old Mac Pro’s cheap on eBay or look for a write off and donate one to the film.  I certainly can’t justify buying one of the current models at Apple’s price. I could also consider building a beefier Hackintosh – and now that choice is much more attractive as a reasonably solid Lion Hackintosh can be built cheap.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.
–Stanley Kubrick
