On my Bad Boy Bubby dvd I have so far just entered one DoP but have to ask here to determine how many is "allowed" There are one main DoP and there are in the credits listed around 7 other DoP listed as segments. Should they also be included in the crew credits?

I don't own this so I don't know what you mean by 'segments' but, normally, we do not credit anything other than the main DoP.

My mistake, it wasn't DoP but Cinematographers. In the credits it says: Contributing Cinematographers in order of apperance, and there are 31 names   so should I list everyone, or juste the first name, or don't include them at all?

Maybe a difficult. This is what I found:

Bad Boy Bubby: Eureka edition
"Ian Jones was the supervising DP and gets his name in the opening credits. He shot the opening scenes in Bubby’s home, and also the last part of the film from the scene where Bubby returns home onwards. Jones also operated the camera throughout. However, for the sections in between, a different DP was used for each location, including some well-known names like Geoffrey Simpson and Roger Lanser. None of the DPs were shown anyone else’s work and de Heer gave them considerable input to the filming of their scene"

what would make them a location Cinematographer

sooooo therefore they should not be included?

the rules are not clear on this issue. I would go for Ian Jones who is involved in the whole movie and leave the others out.

For what it is worth, I checked the R1 version of this DVD.  Whoever did it has Ian Jones listed as DoP as well as Cinematographer.  They also included the 31 Cinematographers.

I would include all of them. It seems like this was a deliberate choice by the director. They are not unit DPs.

He could enter them, it's not against the rules to do so.

There are a number of films where there are a number of directors, each directing a portion of the film, are listed correctly in DVDP. Much like a book having many authors, each writing a chapter... "Naked Came the Stranger", anyone? "Penelope Ashe" was 24 writers!

If a film does this with Cinematographers, then each ought to be included.
If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.
