Re: filename conversion issue

I think the native API has been discouraging, if not quite deprecating, FSSpec stuff in favor of more modern stuff.

Would it work if you used a "file:" type URL and wrapped it with a DataRef?  Back in QuickTime 6.3 or so, Apple was making a fairly big deal out of improving what you could do with DataRefs in the native API.  I haven't tried it, but maybe...?

As for non-ASCII locales, you should have no difficulty assigning ASCII-unfriendly names to your test files right now, provided you turn on some non-ASCII input methods in the "International" system prefs.  Or just copy and paste something in Japanese, like "キックタムのファイル.mov" ("Kicktam'sFile.mov"... your fonts may vary), into the filename in the Finder.

For my code, I resorted to creating a temporary file with benign, ASCII-only name and moving it using java after the conversion is done. Although this requires a bit more cleanup code in the event that the user cancels or the operation failes, at least it works. Might this still fail in a non-ASCII local -- e.g. japan?

Anyway, I'd still be all ears if someone found a better way.
