Problem batch loading files, but not in non-batch GUI mode

My girlfriend has a lot of videos I want to batch convert and it all works great except one strange thing: When I open video files in a path containing native Danish letters as "æ ø å" (usually "spelled" ae ao aa in English) it can't find the file using a batch script. But if I manually open sing it the GUI there's no problem.
Any idea why?

Ansi <> oem code page in windows.  Cmd file works with ansi, command line with oem.
Check if you can adjust accordingly to your local settings for your windows. And maybe that will work. "æ ø å" are not recognized on command line?

"Æ ø å" are recognized and displayed correctly by the command line.
My locale has been set to Danish so that should be correct. I have also tried Googling for ways to use another character set in the command line but no luck (don't know if it is possible).

acp <> oemcp, if problem stays? When batch processing:
rename folder so those Danish characters are not used or move/copy files to process to new folder: driveletter:\Process, the closer to the harddisc root the better.
Sorry I can't help you further with this: I'm non-windows user.
