Can't save to path with non-ascii(Hebrew) characters?

[Shahar Or]

Binary package hint: vlc

Trying to convert, the output file is on the Desktop, which is שולחן עבודה in Hebrew. That gives some error and aborts.

VLC can use any valid UTF-8. Something in a underlying library is crashing here though.

Please provide a stack trace.

[Shahar Or (mightyiam)]

Here we go. A stack trace also with --verbose 2 so you can look for 'access_output_file access out error'.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont (rdenis)]

Yeah, that bug is already fixed in VLC 1.0.3:
