Yes, but in fairness to any software, even ISDCF states in plain language (and yes, I cut and paste it) - 'The Digital Cinema Naming Convention is a voluntary industry recommendation, designed to provide HUMAN READABLE information. This should not be depended upon for AUTOMATION. Systems SHALL NOT reject content based on real or perceived errors in the use of the Naming Convention.' from: http://isdcf.com/dcnc/ Not that I'm saying that is not the reason, merely that if that is what is causing it, it is not the fault of the software. Also, considering the resolution of the content servers (Doremi and GDC seem most egregious about it), it is often more difficult than it needs to be to read a DCP's label, and adding NULL to so many sections would be an irritating proposition for many managers/projectionists building their SPLs.

It's from the ISDCF list. "There MUST be an entry in EVERY field. Some systems count the number of "_" (underscores) to parse the information (NOT RECOMMENDED - BUT it's done). If you have a non- relevant field, fill it with the letters "NULL" This may explain all the naming errors we get from dcp_inspect that are not really errors.
