5.1 DCP?

[JT Thurlow]

I need to make a DCP for a screening and am wondering if freeware DCP creators like DCP-o-matic are able to create DCPs with 5.1 audio?

The project's sound mixer has sent me the 5.1 stems as wav files. I do not have a 5.1 encoder on my system and am not sure if this is required.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have made a few DCPs with http://opendcp.org

Also when making a DCP do your best to utilize the Digital Cinema naming conventions set up specifically for DCP's found here

If you don't some theaters will reject the DCP.

Thanks for the suggestions...it's really last minute so I will have to go the DIY route this time.

I had DCP-o-matic recommended by a projectionist but then read that it can't create 5.1 audio....though this was from a forum post in 2014 so not sure if they've added it since...
