history

Project history and usage

DCP-o-matic Disk Writer is the DCP-o-matic suite utility for formatting external hard drives as EXT2 and copying Digital Cinema Packages onto them for cinema delivery.

Project history

DCP-o-matic began with its first repository commit in 2012 and grew into a suite for creating, checking, delivering, and manipulating Digital Cinema Packages. Disk Writer became the suite component dedicated to formatting external drives and copying DCPs onto them.

Adoption history

DCP-o-matic is used by film-makers, projectionists, film festivals, subtitlers, and cinema technicians. Disk Writer packages the specialist task of preparing Linux-formatted cinema drives into the cross-platform suite.

How it is used

Select an external drive and a DCP, then use the utility to format the drive appropriately and copy the package. The official manual cautions that formatting destroys existing data on the selected drive.

Why package nerds care

Disk Writer is useful because cinema delivery commonly requires EXT2-formatted media, a workflow that is awkward on macOS and Windows without specialist tooling. Its separate Homebrew cask lets users install this focused utility without treating it as a generic disk copier.
