Avidemux v2.7.5 Release, Windows 10

Source code "loadVideo.py":
#PY
ui = Gui();
adm = Avidemux();
inputFolder = "z:/Folder[äÜö]";
fileList = get_folder_content(inputFolder, "mp4");
if (fileList is None):
raise
for file in fileList:
ui.displayInfo("Info", "file: " + file);
if (0 == adm.loadVideo(file)):
raise
The folder "Folder[äÜö]" contains a file "fileName[äÜö].mp4"

displayInfo displays a message:
"file: z:/Folder[äÜö]/fileName[���].mp4"

After that, "adm.loadVideo" throws a TinyPy:Exception.

Le dernier. Veuillez utiliser Aegisub à cet effet svp.

With the latest VC++ nightly, I get umlauts in the folder name mangled while the filename is displayed correctly. VC++-only, MinGW builds are not affected.

All that with a .py file as input, the shell in Avidemux seems to be completely unable to pass non-ASCII characters to the script engine.

I´m running version 2.7.4 Linux 64bit, and I have a Haswell platform running. When using the intel H264 encoder (which is the ffmpeg vaapi HW encoder) I can open a config dialog, however, very limited options only.
No rate control, lookahead, etc. that one can select here. Disappointing, as my platform is compatible to use the Intel HW encoding (and yes I know it´s not of the same quality as SW encoding, but very fast and CPU friendly).
Are there any plans to add the options that are available just as you would encode at the terminal ?

I would volunteer to play the testbench, but I´m afraid I cannot change the code...

What codec was used for video in the source MPEG Transport Stream (.ts) file? Why did you choose to re-encode using an obsolete xvid codec?

Sorry but I’m unfortunately not familiar with any of those  terms. I only downloaded avidemux because there was no .mp4 version of the file I wanted to download and it was the only free program that worked for me. How do I figure out the specifications that you want to know? I just want the converted file to be less large.
