I have some files that reproduce the problem. I have a flagged email to followup on a bug report related to xml char encoding. Currently, the xml consumer assumes the string data you provide it is already UTF-8 encoded, but some people are providing, for example, KOI8 file names in Russian locales. I can get the environment's locale info to determine that. Now, I need to figure out what the character encoding rules or API are for libav and its version history. -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Try before you buy = See our experts in action!
