It seems VLC 1.1 uses CP-1252 while tags are actually written in CP-1251.
How to solve this problem? Is it bug?

Re: AVI tag encoding problem
I am not an expert on the AVI file format, but I cannot see where the encoding of the file is specified. If it's not specified, there's no way to fix this bug.

Re: AVI tag encoding problem
It would be better for many users if VLC defaulted to same encoding as the current locale is (e.g GB2312/GBK for Chinese, etc).I am not an expert on the AVI file format, but I cannot see where the encoding of the file is specified. If it's not specified, there's no way to fix this bug.

Re: AVI tag encoding problem
Autodetection or an option like "--meta-encoding" can be solution to this problem.
"vlc should be recorded in guiness book of world records for command line options"
By the way, it was working fine prior to v1.1
