cannot confirm for linux/ru_RU.UTF-8:

thresh@dell ~ $ ls -ld файлег/файлег1421* -rw-r--r-- 1 thresh thresh 133087 Янв 3 01:58 файлег/файлег14214968.png -rw-r--r-- 1 thresh thresh 222427 Янв 3 01:58 файлег/файлег14215002.png

though there's really a problem when path is not in UTF8:

[00000387] main encoder error: no suitable encoder module for fourcc `<four blank spaces here>'. VLC probably does not support this image format. [00000367] main video output error: could not create snapshot /home/thresh/������

seems like some string isnt being to-UTF8-ed.
