Having struggled with this for the last couple of days I thought it would be useful to share my experience on this forum. DR14 includes an 'easyDCP' option in the deliver page.. forget that unless you are rich. The easyDCP licence is very expensive and all you get in DR14 is a dummy effort which doesnt really do anything useful.
So to make a DCP you have to do the following...
1. Have your finished rendered project ready along with the sound tracks. Setup a new project in DR14 and set the timeline to 1998x1080 if you're working in 2k
2. bring in your movie to the timeline, set all audio tracks to type mono
3. on the color page zoom the picture so it fits the frame
4. using the deliver page you must now render out the video and audio separately. Render the video as jpeg2000 with codec 2K DCI flat (or whatever you're working with) and set the frame rate to suit. Selecting jpeg2000 will disable the audio so dont worry about that. For each frame in your movie you will get 1 small jpeg2000 file so make sure you have plenty of disk space to send these to.
5. having rendered out the jpeg2000 files (yes it takes a long time) disable the export video checkbox and then in the audio tab select wav and 24 bit audio. render each timeline track as its own wav file
thats it for DV14. The next step is to convert these files to the MXF format and thence to DCP files. For this you will need the openDCP software which is free of charge.
So before you go any further read this article on how to use DR14 to create the jpeg files

and this article on how to make the DCP package

My thoughts on this?
Its a bit 'micky' but it works. Hopefully BM will get their act together and integrate the DCP process (opendcp) into DR?? to simplify matters for us (checkout Adobe Media Encoder & Wraptor DCP). As with all of this stuff if you've got a commercial cinema production then I suggest you take your stuff to a post production DCP facility as they are experienced and its not too expensive, about 800usd for a 70 minute film.
Good luck
