Charset extracting VORBIS-Tags

[ATRider]

Hi to all,
when reading VORBIS-Tags there is no translation from UTF-8 to Windows-1252 ... i think.

When extracting Tags from an FLAC-File with command
   exiftool -T -L -Filename -Vorbis:Title anyü.flac > x.txt
the Umlaut in the filename will be returned in Windows-1252, an Umlaut in the tag will be returned as UTF-8. This tag can be created to any FLAC-file with "Mp3tag".

According to description of Vorbis-Tags these tags are always coded in UTF-8 and therefore should be translated to Windows-1252 with the command given?! What am i making wrong?

Hi Mane,

Once upon a time, ExifTool didn't recode any 8-bit encodings.  But as things have evolved I have added this ability upon request.

Thanks for pointing out this deficiency, and the next version of ExifTool will properly recode Vorbis comments.
