Maybe this could be useful ;)
Unable to open file with non-local and non-latin symbols in filenames [unicode] #278

I did tested that on windows and, unfortunately, the fix didn't worked.

Can't we use mlt_open? instead of fopen

[BobSynfig]

That's why I added the link :)
For the moment I can't build a Windows version so I proposed the Glib::locale_from_utf8 to mimic the other formats in the source code.
But yes I expect mlt_open to do the trick
