It's an excellent tool, and helps you to ensure that your DCP, and all included filenames, conform to [ISDCF standards](https://registry-page.isdcf.com/).    A more practical purpose of the composition name, beyond ensuring mere compatibility, is to convey to the Projectionist important information about a DCP's contents and configuration-- Namely its aspect ratio, language, audio channel configuration, and packaging standard.    I've never delivered a DCP that does not observe the ISDCF standard. Would it work anyway? Maybe. Projectionists tend to get cranky when things aren't up to spec, cos it leaves them operating blindly, which is less than ideal when you're renting a cinema for a screening.    The examples I've provided in the screenshots below are what I'd recommend, based on our conversations-- Except for the title.    Film Titles for DCP files are limited to 14 digits and are required to be typed in CamelCase (Meaning no spaces, etc, and CapitalLettersToIndicateTheStartOfEachWord). **Composition Name:** TitleIn14Chars_SHR_F-185_EN-XX_51_1998x1080_20240108_IOP_OV - TitleIn14Chars: FilmTitleIn14Characters - (CamelCaseWithNoSeperatorsOrSpecialCharacters) - SHR: Content Type: Short - F-185: Projector Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1 DCI 'Flat' - EN-XX: Audio Language-Subtitles (None/Custom: XX) - 51: Audio Type: 5.1 Surround - 1998x1080: Resolution (Actual Height & Width) - 20240108: Date of issue: YYYMMDD - IOP: Packaging Standard - Interop (Most Widely compatible-- See first Screenshot) - OV: Package Type: Original Version ^[Extracted from [[240111Thu]] on 240111Thu @ 16:01] ![[BMDResolve 1851 - DCP Composition Name Generator.png]]![[BMDResolve 1851 - DCP Composition Filename Settings.png]]
