DCP-o-matic

DCP‑o‑matic converts video, audio and subtitle files into Digital Cinema Packages (DCP), the format required for playback in modern digital cinemas. The tool processes source media and produces cinema‑ready packages that can be projected directly, eliminating the need for intermediate optical media. It supports a range of content types, from feature films and festival submissions to advertisements, news segments and commercial spots.

The software is employed by a diverse set of professionals, including filmmakers, projectionists, film‑festival organizers, subtitlers and cinema technicians. Its open‑source nature makes it freely available for anyone needing to prepare content for exhibition on cinema screens, and it is used in production pipelines and festival workflows worldwide. The stable macOS build provides a reliable, community‑maintained solution for creating DCPs without proprietary licensing constraints.
