Attribute CLASS, strange format

[Lopez, A.]

Dear all, I am trying to store accounting information on MySQL from requests related to a video on demand service.   In my Accounting requests I am sending the title of the movie in the Attribute “Class”, which is supposed to be a string.   The problem is that, when I receive the Accounting request using FreeRADIUS I don’t see the title of the movie. Instead I see an string like: “0x4d4154328……………..” which I guess is the HEX representation of the string.   Can anyone tell me how can I convert it to the original string before storing the info in MySQL?   Thanks in advance.
