Comment 22 for bug 893719

Finally I have found what causes the crash. The absolute path to files from my camera contains 8-bit, but not UTF-8 characters. These are in KOI8-R encoding. If I move files to other location, that contains 7-bit ascii chars only, everything is okay.

I didn't yet understand where does the problem reside: in mlt or in openshot. Anyway, I won't ask neither Openshot nor MLT developers to fix that since nowadays everyone is moving to UTF-8 and everything else is considered obsoleted. But, the crash isn't a correct way to report problem :) You don't expect every user is capable to run gdb and dig out what's going on, so crash definitely needs to be converted to some error banner, or at least error message to stdout.

Thanks!
