  1. hey there,
    does anyone know how to make german umlauts (ä,ö,ü) compatible in a cmd batch for ffmpeg?
    I basically just need a list which umlaut equals which code.
    Couldnt't find anything which made any sense to me.
    thanks

    Install TextPad. From View > Clip Library you will see all the ANSI Characters codes.
    For Example
    ä 228
    ö 246
    ü 252
    etc
    The CAPS have different codes

  3. ok I checked that. so ä 228, ö 246, ü 252, Ä 196, Ö 214, Ü 220

    but how do I write it in the commandline then. If I want to access a path containing C:\folder\Die Ärzte.mov I just call it C:\folder\Die 196rzte ?
    I highly dout that that will work...

    Why do you need to add the Umlaut codes in your script? If you get a subtitles file with odd characters, replace them with the Umlauts characters directly without the need for ANSI codes, using Subtitle Edit.
    Perhaps you can tell us exactly what you are trying to do.

  5. If I want to access a path containing C:\folder\Die Ärzte.mov

    Try this in your cmd file. Don't forget the quotes as the file name has a space

    Code:
    CHCP 65001
    ffplay "C:\folder\Die Ärzte.mov"
    Read up on dos program chcp
