With this system the file wont even have a name like they name rar files it will just be numbers and letters that is where I see the problem when you send a DMCA all they will see is a file with numbers and letters no actual name unless you have the key to unlock it

Of course I have an idea of what's in that file - when I see a post on a message board featuring screenshot from our video and a download link, I have a pretty damn good idea of what's going to be in that file. If you're asking whether I download all links to make it absolutely sure the video is mine - of course I don't. And I'm not required to - I'm required to send DMCA when I have a belief in good faith that content is mine. Screenshot + download link = good faith belief.
File names do not matter at all. Since a very long time most of the uploaders use random file names to avoid spiders or sometimes to even hide the real meaning of their files from file lockers - when they do not allow porn for example. It didn't change anything in the scheme above. No billing company is going to say they're not going to put a strike on record because the file name is 16763mna.rar and not stolen_video_from_your_program.wmv.
