Use Windows-compatible filenames
100%
Description
In "Digital Video Recorder Profiles" there is a useful option "Use Windows-compatible filenames" who does his job but does not control the length of the file name that should not exceed 255 characters and have a maximum of 260 for the full path.

I was not aware about the 260 characters limit in windows.. Really silly implementation of the filesystem.
The maximum filename length checking is resolved in the 4.1 code.

We are talking about windows, the file system is not the most serious problem.
Version 4.1 is not in release/stable build type?

I hardcoded the 255 filename limit for 4.1 when use windows compatible filenames is active (because pathconf(filename, _PC_NAME_MAX) returns a large value for VFAT -unicode characters, so it's unusable).
The directory path handling is more difficult (check the mountpoint for vfat). I would suggest to handle this at the administrator level (ensure that the total filename length won't cross this limit - I added $99t and $99s format strings for title/subtitle where 99 is the limit number - 99 is only example - for the filename specification).
