System Information
OSX 10.10.1, GTM 750M

Blender Version
Broken: 2.73 22ce525
Worked:

Short description of error
DPX files exported from Blender cannot be imported to some other programs. While it works in DaVinci Resolve, it fails in AfterEffects and Premiere 2014. Apparently it's because of one letter in the DPX header. AfterEffects expects the version number to be uppercase, which appears to be also in the format description. (http:*www.simplesystems.org/users/bfriesen/dpx/S268M_Revised.pdf) Also others experience this issue: https:*forums.adobe.com/thread/1600067
It would be a simple fix, which I have attached below.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Export DPX from Blender, try to import to AfterEffects CC. You'll get an error message that the header is wrong.

Nice discovery. Note that we use very old code (from film gimp), which probably used Cineon code from the DPX inventor Kodak. In the Kodak days it was lower case.
