[FFmpeg-devel] Unicode filenames on Windows

[dogwhis]

Hi Derek!

Thanks for your answer. The HTPC software feeds the unicode filename movie 
via command line automatically. Manually testing the ffmpeg through cmd.exe 
(Win7) still gives me trouble with these unicode symbols. Could you make it 
work with this filename?

If so how?
Hopefully your e-mail application supports unicode in order to be abled to 
see the stars.
Maybe you have some .ts file you could rename.

Regards
dogwhis
