    (uploaded test3.mkv to https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B_WxUS1XGCPASUZibG5XZkRfeTg&usp=sharing)

    and then calling:

    mediainfo --Full "F:\TestClips&Co\tag tests\test3.mkv"

    (MediaInfo Command line, MediaInfoLib - v0.7.72)
    I get:

    see unshortened output http://pastebin.com/jfUYV91J

    Note that I grab the output with a program and this is the output my program gets while assuming the output is UTF-8.
    (if I call this in a normal Windows command prompt, the output is garbled)

    calling instead ffmpeg with:

    "ffmpeg.exe" -i "F:\TestClips&Co\tag tests\test3.mkv"

    the output is okay

    At least one output file must be specified

    Note: output is grabbed the same way I grab the mediainfo output
    (if I call this in a normal Windows command prompt, the output is garbled)

    My guess is that unlike ffmpeg MediaInfo uses the local character coding instead of utf-8.

    -> Is there a way to tell MediaInfo to output utf-8 ?

    Okay, sorry, my fault.
    Seems like I made a mistake compiling mediainfo

    I just tested with Windows 7 command line,
    mediainfo test3.mkv >temp.txt
    and the file is in UTF-8.

    On my side, I use wcout interface (so the Unicode API of the OS) and don't touch any code page (so my output is in UTF-16LE on Windows).

    I did not test, but I remember that I was using to do "chcp 65001" on WinXP in order to select UTF-8 code page. maybe you can test on your side?
