It could not save Chinese title name correctly

Post by wpjwong »

I tried the program. It is excellent, fast and user friendly. However when I tried to download a video from Youtube with Chinese title, the filename showed funny characters. I guess it may be language compatibility issue. Does it support double bytes ? Any fix is available ?

You can try this URL to download the video and see the problem :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQ1g8ShGaVU" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Thank you for your support!

The filename of the downloaded file is this one:
我是歌手-第二季-第6期-G.E.M邓紫棋致敬Beyond《喜欢你》-【湖南卫视官方版1080P】20140207.mp4

Looks OK.

Well, great!!! What is the trick? Any setting I need to do? After I copied the URL, the program retrieved the title from Youtube. The title and filename I could see was :

甇-蝚砌摮蝚G.E.M換璉拾eyond甈V閫寧1080P0140207_titlecontent type='

The title as displayed on my browser (both IE and Chrome) was the one you showed to me.

Thank you for your great support!

Make sure you use version 6.00.
What Windows do you have ?
Probably YouTube pages are filtered in China and have different format that's why the title got messed up.

Once again thank you for your prompt response!

I'm currently using version 6.00. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate (Transitional Chinese) but I use English as the display language. Under Windows setting of "Region and Language"-->Adminstrative-->Language for non-Unicode programs : I tried Transitional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and English but the result was still the same.

I live in Hong Kong and I don't think there is any filter on Youtube. The title as displayed on the browser (both IE and Chrome) is correct in Simplified Chinese.

Everything normal for English title. The title and filename of the link is :

Pharrell Williams - Happy (From Despicable Me 2)
