Is there a way to truncate the title of an image so that it remains a certain character length for my albums pages?

so it shows something like "video_titl..." instead of "video_title-03-041009"

in your theme templates like album.tpl look for
{$child.title|markup}
or
{$theme.item.title|markup}
and change it to something like:
{$child.title|markup|truncate:20}
or
{$theme.item.title|markup|truncate:20}

where 20 is the desired character length
