not sure what i can ever contribute here but might as well post about this since i don't think everything is too well known and they're kind of cool!
what dcps are is just prores files but repackaged losslessly to jpeg2000 and xyz12le 4:4:4. they're usually encrypted but quite a few have leaked. you have pretty much uncompressed colour (12-bit/upconverted 10-bit) and a lack of letterboxing usually followed with unique sound mixes
what makes prores files so neat is the fact they're 'visually transparent' encodes and are only encoded in i-frames meaning no previous or next frames are used as reference, resulting in amazing video and perfect grain (p and b frames will mess that up).
apocalypse now "DCPremux" (redux 2K master - theatrical cut): it's public but the remux that's out there is messed up (it's encoded as 48fps which i assume ruined the entire file as it freezes/stutters during scene transitions, probably since the codec can't handle those bitrate spikes any more, i assume whenever they were toying with it they also messed up the colour space as that's messed up too...) luckily the .xmfs were the first things that leaked so maybe we'll get a proper one someday, it's watchable but on a technical level it's ruined. still an awesome leak
my neighbor totoro 2x dcp: 2 of the gkids dcps were leaked publicly, apparently because someone was ment to upload trailer dcps (usually unencrypted afaik) but messed up, a unique video transfer and a major improvement over any home video version! the two dcps also differ slightly.
escape from new york dcpremux: on private trackers
tombstone dcpremux: on private trackers
hateful eight 4k RU "DCPrip" WEB-DL/WEBrip/VOD/VODrip: public but as stated by the teamHD people, they obtained it thanks to their WEB-DL fund so it's not legit. the russian bluray is also 25fps.
back to the future DCPrip BDremux: this one's well known... and public. slight improvement over the bluray from the same master.
apocalypse now ProRes 4k (final cut): on private trackers, it's about a terabyte and has a 5.1 mix. leaked from a streaming service.
needle 1988 ProRes: public, massive improvement over the blurry and denoised french bluray. also apparently screened as a dcp
