[DVDnav-discuss] libdvdnav / vlc filename parsing issue.

I opened up a ticket on this over at videolan.org  (#11836) which was
promptly closed with only the statement that it was a libdvdnav problem.

Issue is the vlc/libdvdnav does not appear to be clean in dealing with
file names.   If you have a single ISO such as:


"Maoyu (2013)-D2.iso"

No problems to bring up the menu.


Change the name to:

"Maoyū (2013)-D2.iso"

VLC will refuse to play the file.   Change it back and it works again.
 So it's purely up to the characters in the file name or path that borks
the program.
