When a video has a non utf-8 metadate the encoding breaks. This is the output of ffmpeg:

    com.apple.quicktime.artwork: ����

And here is where the encoding breaks:

video_encoding/backends/ffmpeg.py", line 97, in encode
line = reader.readline()

I think there should be no problem to ignore invalid characters of ffmpeg is happy to process the file?

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

          Do not break on invalid output from ffmpeg - fixes escaped#38

ffmpeg sometimes outputs crazy non utf-8 characters coming from video metadata. There is no reason to stop processing because of that.
