What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a folder that contains international unicode characters (eg Greek). 
2. Move a normal video file in that folder.
3. Drag and drop the file from the folder to the filebox of winfff

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The expected output would be the same that happens when normally inserting
the file using the browse... dialog, perfectly seeing the Greek characters
in the path. INSTEAD I get transformed characters like %20%32%77. When I
ask for the conversion, the converter fails to do the job, reporting an
input output error. 

But as I said works perfectly when getting the file with the browse... dialog.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Using 0.4 , installed in an Ubuntu Gutsy 64-bit with the latest updates,
using the package with --force-architecture . Gnome (nautilus) windows
manager (Xorg). Greek locale.



Please provide any additional information below.

I also encountered this issue with Ubuntu 32-bit Hardy.  Kernel 2.6.24-19.  Gnome
window manager, FFMPEG from Medibuntu.  English North American Local...  Using WinFF 0.4

Drag and Drop works with filenames without spaces, which are converted to %20

Thought FFMPEG was the problem at first... installed from SVN, older versions, and
Medibuntu all with same effect.

Compiling WinFF with lazarus 0.926 and free pascal 2.2.3 fixed this issue
