About

DCP-o-matic Batch converter is a macOS application for preparing video, audio and subtitles as a DCP (Digital Cinema Package), the standard format used by cinemas. This entry is for the Batch converter app, rather than a general description of other DCP-o-matic applications.

  • Converts video, audio and subtitles into DCP.
  • Provides a batch-converter application, as identified by the product name and the installed app artifact.
  • DCP output is intended for digital cinema, including use in cinemas and film festivals.

The official site describes DCP-o-matic as free and open-source software, but the supplied information does not establish separate licensing or pricing terms specific to this Batch converter entry. No additional setup options are listed for the Homebrew installation.
