As Tom says, the standard, the only standard, for a DCP delivery drive is EXT2 with node
size of 128.
Some systems with certain firmware may sometimes ingest from drives of other formats, but
why take a chance.
You are attempting to do a very professional maneuver. Follow the standards.
I wrote an article that describes the process of putting Ubuntu on a Mac and formatting a
drive, then describes formatting the drive. It may be more than you need. Because I am a
chatty writer, it is long and detailed…and chatty and presuming you know nothing. Perhaps
it would be helpful. There are others on the web that presume other levels skill.

Good luck. Let us know how it turns out.

The industry standard format for DCP drives is EXT2 with an inode size of 128. I would
think that the Ex-FAT format is the issue.

Hi there! I am using the most current version of DCP-O-Matic on a Mac system.
Following the instructions I authored a feature-length DCP to a mac formatted drive.
Everything seems to check out.
The projectionist at the theater reported that the drive would not work at all (due to
their system being a PC). I then created an Ex-FAT drive with the same DCP package files,
but the Projectionist reported his system could not see any packages present to load.
What should I do? We have an important screening in a few days. I do not have access to a
PC - is there any way that I can create a workable DCP using a mac?
Regards,
Evan
