Comment (by vertigo):
Having the same problem. Trying to run the following command:
"%ffmpeg%" -v error -stats -threads 8 -i "%%f" -f null -
in a batch file, where %%f is the current file being processed, fails with
the following error:
[in#0 @ random_hex_string] Error opening input: Invalid argument
Error opening input file Filename...????? ????....mp4.
Error opening input files: Invalid argument
The invalid characters are replaced by ?'s (question marks) and ffmpeg
can't load the files. Renaming them makes them work, so definitely an
issue with the file names. This greatly reduces the ability to use ffmpeg
to process files, as the only thing I can figure is to temporarily batch
rename them, process them, then batch rename them back, a process that
will be a major PITA.
