 Summary of the bug:

 I was trying to concatenate a bunch of video I downloaded from the web
 when I discovered than ffmpeg can't read file name such as
 'input..file.mp4' from a file.
 It gives the error 'Impossible to open 'input..file.mp4' no such file or
 directory'

 How to reproduce:

 create a file containing two video filename such as this:
 >file 'video.mp4'
 >file 'video..copy.mp4'
 try to concatenate them with this command:
 ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i file -c copy output.mp4

 ffmpeg should give an error that the file 'video..copy.mp4' couldn't be
 found
 But ffmpeg can work with the file 'video..copy.mp4' if we give it as a
 command line argument this command should work:
 ffmpeg -i video..copy.mp4 output.mp3
