About

DCP-o-matic is a free, open-source tool for converting video, audio and subtitles into DCP, the standard format required by cinemas around the world. According to its website, it is used across the industry by film-makers, projectionists, film festivals, subtitlists and cinema technicians.

The website describes several uses: preparing a film for the big screen, including for film festivals or premieres in any digital cinema; making adverts for local news and commercials to be shown in cinemas; and getting festival submissions, which may arrive on Blu-Ray, USB or as downloads, ready to play. It also notes that features on Blu-Ray can be converted to DCP and arranged into playlists, avoiding the need for optical media.

The site presents the app as a way to make digital cinema accessible, describing it as digital cinema democratized.
