Hi Edwin,
Filemask is obvious as it is assigned in the python code itself. It is
"%file%". The idea is that the file clicked is substituted for the
"%file%" by the replace action. The file that needs to be substituted
is a simple file on disk.
Here is a dump of the file and it's characters. I do understand that
it is not in the range of ASCII but how can I make it so that it will
work?

I assume it is about this part:
OllieÂŽs Gold.avi
But what can I do to decode that properly?
With regards,
