Rather it is the other way round. Say you search for all videos in your 
application and you show or sort by title. If there is no title (which 
can happen on a phone or small device where the user just takes the 
picture and never fills in a title) - the filename might be called 
"2009-10-27-$location-$number.jpeg", So should that be used as the title 
in the video? Otherwise apps that need this value have to deal with it 
not existing too. This makes queries potentially complex.
