Dear All

To create an ISO file of a movie I use the command:

mkisofs -o dvd.iso -V "Movie Name" -dvd-video -v /path/to/DVD

However, if the "Movie name" is a string containing accented letters,
then I get some rubbish in the name of the disk when its icon appear
on KDE desktop. How can I circumvent this problem? Since I do not have
any external DVD player (I have got only the one on my computer), will
the same rubbish appear on TV when the disk is played?

When moving "accented" characters from system to system, expect them not to display correctly on some systems. At the very best, a system might not have a font with the characters. At worst, conversions are still not very repeatable. (99% still misses one in a hundred.) In a monoculture, this is not a problem, but once you cross language borders, you're no longer in a monoculture.

It'll take a few more years to get the conversions to the 99.999% level.
