Converter not handling certain non-aSCII characters

[jbinkley60]

I am having a problem where Converter is not handling some files created by DRMDownloader due to non-ASCII characters. After downloading them I run them through Converter to change the container to MKV from MP4.

Here are a few example file names which fail:

Hawaii Five-0_S08E21_Ahuwale ka nane hūnā
Hawaii Five-0_S08E22_Kōpī wale nō i ka i'a a 'eu nō ka ilo
Hawaii Five-0_S08E23_Ka Hana a ka makua, o ka hana no ia a keiki
Hawaii Five-0_S08E24_Ka lālā kaukonakona haki 'ole I ka pā a ka makani Kona_

If I shorten the names to:

Hawaii Five-0_S08E21
Hawaii Five-0_S08E22
Hawaii Five-0_S08E23
Hawaii Five-0_S08E24

Converter loads them fine. I then do the conversion and rename the output files afterwards. The error I get from Converter is:

Failure to open the selected file



I am running DVDFab 12.0.2.1 but the issue has existed for quite some time.

It would also be nice if DRMDownloader could be enhanced to allow us to select the output container type (i.e. MKV vs. MP4).


Thanks,

DVDFab moderators. My apologies for posting this in the UHD converter section instead of the normal converter forum section. Please move this if you can.


Thanks,

Hi Jeff, the thread has been moved to the regular Video Converter section.

About the problem you reported, we will check, thanks.

Thanks. I ran into other episodes file doing the same thing. This time I started deleting characters one at a time until Converter would accept the file name. The characters causing the problem are like this: ū and ā and similar. If I remove them from the source file names it works.
