Issue with '$' character in filenames #53

tovid has an issue while trying to encode files that include the $ character in filenames.

Basically, the eval command leaves double quotes in the command, which preserves the special meaning of $

I am currently running tovid version svn- r2475 Relevant output of tovid.log: MPlayer 1.0rc2-4.3.0 (C) 2000-2007 MPlayer Team CPU: AMD Turion(tm) 64 X2 Mobile Technology TL-56 (Family: 15, Model: 104, Stepping: 1) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 1 3DNow2: 1 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection. 115 audio & 237 video codecs mplayer: could not connect to socket mplayer: No such file or directory Failed to open LIRC support.

Oops, forgot to note, original file was named 'Space Ghost C2c - 23 - $20.01.avi'

I've just run into this issue myself.

I am using version svn- r2544 .

In my case, the filename contained "$$".

Confirmed; filenames with $ or $$, when immediately followed by a number, cannot be encoded by tovid. This is yet another bad side-effect of tovid being written in shell script. I can't think of an easy solution, but the workaround is easy--just rename the file. Hopefully some day, when tovid is fully Python-based, problems like this will go away. Leaving open in case someone wants to submit a patch to the shell script.
