special char. in track name are scrambled in final MKV file

Post by BigMat » Mon Feb 03, 2014 3:11 pm

Hi,

I typically rename audio/subtitle track names with text like "Fran?ais" or "Espa?ol"

but the ? and the ? are changed in the produced MKV file, e.g. the ? is replaced with ?§

I didn't have this problem in the past. It seems that this bug was came up in a recent release. But I only noticed it recently when I changed the language of a movie in XBMC.

Has other users encountered this issue?


I use the latest version of MakeMKV.

I'm not sure if this is actually related to makeMKV.

I didn't have this issue just a few weeks ago, so I installed an older version (1.8.5) and I still have this problem.

I haven't changed any windows regional settings but somehow this problem came up in January.

In the meantime, I have to re-mux the MKV with MKVmerge, which is quite a bummer as this complicates my workflow.

Any suggestions would be very welcomed.

thx,

BM
