The cut script uses the ID+Title for the file name, making the file easily identifiable to both the software and a human trying to find a particular MP4 (this is needed at least for the backups, since we may loose the ID's in future years). However, some presentations contain characters which aren't valid in file names or which FFMPEG interprets as a protocol declaration for the output type (eg the colon), causing the cut job to fail. So all file names need to be parsed to remove any problem characters.
