However when I insert the same title to another mp4 file, the acute vocal (é or whatever it is) is not displayed properly. Any help?

Code Select

& '.\exiftool(-k).exe' -title='¿Por qué?' .\porque-2.mp4

Code Select

Windows CMD has a big problem with Unicode characters. You can try the options listed in FAQ #18 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q18). Or try adding the -L (latin) option (https://exiftool.org/exiftool_pod.html#L--latin) in the case of simple accented characters like these. Or, if you're on Windows 10, try this this StackOverflow answer (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57131654/using-utf-8-encoding-chcp-65001-in-command-prompt-windows-powershell-window/57134096#57134096).

Thank you. Easily solved putting the title inside an UTF-8 text file.
