filename conversion issue



Hey all,

I am using QT java to convert QT-readable files to AIFF files, which are then imported into my program. I am having a problem that, presumably, relates to unicode. I am still researching it, but I thought I'd throw it out here BEFORE loosing all my hair seearching through the QT Java documentation.

Anyway, the code in question goes like this:

QTFile qtIn  = new QTFile(source);
QTFile qtOut = new QTFile(target);

//While testing, make sure the file names -- especially the
// output file names -- look right!
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(
	null,
	new String[] {
		"from: " + qtIn .getPath(),
		"to: "   + qtOut.getPath() },
	"Importing",
	JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

//create the movie for conversion:
OpenMovieFile omFile = OpenMovieFile.asRead(qtIn);
final Movie movie = Movie.fromFile(omFile);

//set the ProgressProc:
if( progressListener != null )
	movie.setProgressProc(progressListener);

// now we convert the movie to an AIFF
final int exportType = StdQTConstants.kQTFileTypeAIFF; // save as an AIFF

movie.convertToFile(qtOut, // name of output movie
		exportType,  //type of file to export
		StdQTConstants.kMoviePlayer, // set the creator to MoviePlayer
		0 ); //I've tried various things from IOConstants here


It works fine as long as the charactors in the name are ASCII. If it contains, say, french charators, the file conversion happens but the output file name is garbled wherever there was a non-ascii charactor. The worst part is I can't even figure out how it's been garbled, so the file is just about impossible to find programitically (if I could find it, I could at least rename it, which is lame, but it would be a workaround.)


As the code indicates, I have tried several things as the last argument to movie.convertToFile, but I always get the same garbage.

Like I said, any help is appretiated!

thanks,

	bjorn
