k3b The following file names have an invalid encoding.

[imranka]

When I try to burn a file with non-english character like:
Un condamné à mort s'est échappé ou Le vent souffle où il veut

I get the following message:
"The following filenames have an invalid encoding. You may fix this with the convmv tool:"

How to solve this?

BTW, If it needs, my locale are so:

LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

Try using convmv:

convmv - convert filenames to utf8 or any other charset

What do you mean by "burn a file"? Do you mean to add a file to a list to burn to a CD/DVD disc or ISO image? If so, the problem is likely with the limitations of the iso9660 file system you are likely trying to use.

[imranka]

burn a file = add a file to a list

And k3b doesn't let me add the file.

Thanks

??? You can add any number of files to burn to a CD/DVD with k3b. You still are not being clear enough on what your problem is.

I don't know how to be more clear than my original post.

k3b doesn't let me add any file which contains non-english character. So, what i usually do is to modify the filename with only english character and then burn it. But if I want, to keep the file name as it is i.e. with 'ù', 'à' or 'é; then what I've to do?

Either k3b isn't set up to handle international languages, or the ISO9660 specification doesn't all the characters you are trying to use. Actually, mkisofs will allow Unicode character sets when you specify the -J (Joliet) or -joliet-long options, but then those discs will only work on Windows or Linux machines, though that restriction may not be a problem for you. In cany case, I don't think k3b directly supports those character sets - at least I haven't found any way to do so, even though it will allow you to burn a disc w/ Joliet extensions. So, you may have to use mkisofs or genisoimage directly.
