Hi
I havent tested with your particular case but it seems to be related to 
windows dos page
  (characters dos convertion page : chcp)
I had same problem running batch file  " ffmpeg  -list_devices true -f 
dshow -i dummy"
i solved it that way
    on dos screen
       undestand which active page (characters table)
       type    chcp  and note the given value (mine is 850 )
       type    set chcp 1252  (this enlarge ascci characters page to latin )

      go back to the default page when you end up the full session
   hope this help
regards
jacky
