Hello, I need to create a DCP with several short films in different sound formats. Some are in stereo and others in 5.1. As this program will be played by many cinemas, I cannot send them a DCP per film and ask them to group it in a playlist and I have to send them all the films on a single DCP. If I import several films with different sound formats into DCP-o-matic, will the software create a functional DCP? Will the cinema system manage this correctly using such a DCP?

It should be fine - DCP-o-matic should make a DCP with enough channels to support the largest channel count of any of your sources, then fill empty parts with silence. So long as you don't need to do anything too exciting like switch to ATMOS or anything it should be fine.
