    DCPs are based off of the deliverables of the facility requesting the DCP. Thus, if they request TIFFs, give them TIFFS.

    DPX and TIFF are the standards. 3rd party apps out there (including free ones) exist for creating DPXs, look into that. Gluetools is a fantastic product.

    Apple Color can convert QuickTime to DPX. As can Aja QT to DPX converter.
    But Gluetools is a great tool to work from within FCP.
