Bug Description

Binary package hint: vlc

When ripping a DVD with VLC, I tried to save the file as "Törnrosa.ogg", but what ended up on the disk is named "Törnrosa.ogg". I can tell that other file names containing accented characters in the same directory are displayed correctly with my current locale settings, so the problem is not that the directory listing has mojibake when displayed -- the file name VLC created has the actual mojibake.

(That's the Swedish title of the Disney classic _Sleeping Beauty_ FWIW.)

How exactly did you "[try] to save the file"?

Media > Convert / Save ... > Disc tab
Select DVD chapter etc, click Convert / Save button
In the resulting Stream Output dialog box, select Ogg Theora profile
Check the "File" checkbox and type "Törnrosa.ogg" in the Filename box
Click "Save"

Actually even before clicking Save you can observe in the "Generated stram output string" text field near the bottom of the dialog that the filename with the accented character contains wrecked UTF8 (apparently interpreted as Latin-1 and incorrectly converted from Latin to UTF8 although it was already UTF8; at least, the wrecked strings I've seen would typically be a symptom of that).
