DCP-o-matic Disk Writer is a Video Production app for Mac.

About

DCP-o-matic Disk Writer is a macOS application for preparing video, audio, and subtitles as a DCP (Digital Cinema Package), a format used by cinemas. The DCP-o-matic project describes its tools as serving filmmakers, projectionists, film festivals, subtitlists, and cinema technicians.

  • Converts video, audio, and subtitles into DCP.
  • The project presents DCP as a way to prepare films for digital cinema screenings, including festivals and premieres.
  • This Homebrew cask installs the Disk Writer app, not a general-purpose DCP-o-matic description of other editions or tools.

Install with brew install --cask dcp-o-matic-disk-writer. After installation, open DCP-o-matic 2 Disk Writer.app from Applications.

The official site describes DCP-o-matic as free and open-source; that project-level description should not be taken as evidence of separate edition details for this specific app.
