I tried convertnig to unicode via Notepad "save as" and even Dreamweaver. VLC still shows only squares.
Libiconv is a wonderful gift from Linux - it installs nicely with all the shortcuts but there's no program itself - it's freaking command line tool. Even if I master it's obscure options like:
iconv [-c] [-s] [-f encoding] [-t encoding] [inputfile ...]
iconv -l
There's not freaking way I'm manually typing in hundreds of file names for mulitseason series like Prison Break.
I will check out VLC forums, see if there's another way.
Thanks anyway.
