because--regardless of the user's file system choice and system locale
settings (including character set and encoding)--a file name with just
numerals and a "simple" extension (.mpg or .nuv, for example) can be
represented. When we tried to allow the use of actual titles and
subtitles and such in the file name, users ended up with broken
recordings because some of the characters were not representable/usable
with their file system/locale settings.
Therefore, as Mike P said, if you want to take over management of the
file and file name, the best (and only supported) solution is to move
that file to Video Library (Watch Videos), which is your library of
videos "worth keeping".
