If you like you can contact me off the list. We are creating DCP's here and have tested almost every system out there. We ended up purchasing a Fuze and are creating ours in hardware and the conversion to X-Y-Z color space is flawless. Many of the software products shift well everything. We've evaluated some DCP's that were created elsewhere by festivals, etc, from our masters and we can barely recognize them from the source, blown out highlights, lifted blacks, shifted color, you name it.

Anyway, our tech would be happy to give you the low down on DCP creation.

Shameless self-promotion, but I would recommend the FAQ on my site as creating DCPs has become a big part of my freelance workhttp://www.sv2dcp.com/. I’ve done a couple of dozen long form DCPs, 3D, 4K and lots of shorts and trailers.
I have my own recipe using AE and some parts (including Fnordware’s excellent encoder):
 
Wikipedia has a good entry under Digital Cinema but there is a lot about DCP and distribution that is complex discussion. But it does not address lots of the issue indies and doc folks run into with DCP creation and distribution.

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.
