[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] "Mojibake" in Japanese

[Tetsuya Yoshida]

Hi.

I rewrote patch for Mojibake of ID3 tags.
'--id3-encoding' option has been added to configure options.
libavformat will be able to support all languages.
If you do not specify an --id3-encoding option, it remains traditional.

If FFMpeg has been distributed as a package, not benefit from this option.
It would be a challenge for the future.
Do you have a good idea?

I think good it into the trunk without change, though :)

Thanks.

Yoshida Tetsuya
