 Hi, it's possible to enter file names that contain ":"
 ffmpeg -i something.mp3 -c copy "test : test.mp3

 I even created a file this way, that I can't delete or move now.
 Another one (second try), I was able to delete.

 (I moved the first file to some dir I don't need by using 7zip, deleting
 that folder wasn't possible though)

 I know, that Windows prohibits the use of ":" in file names, I copied the
 file name and forgot to remove it, ffmpeg should prevent users from
 entering it though ;)

 If there are other similar characters, those should be prohibited from
 being used as well.
