I'm having an odd problem with iTunes which is every time I try to change any information for a video (and only a video), the text comes out to some Chinese/Viatnamese/Japanese (I don't really know) characters. I tried deleting the preferences or typing what I wanted in another app and copying it into it but neither helped, anyone have any other suggestions?
Got a tip for us?

Strange... it's Chinese, FWIW... But that doesn't help. 
There was this thread a while back, in which something vaguely similar happened because of offending fonts. Is that a possibility?

Sounds similar although I haven't installed any new fonts since I installed the system, its strange that its showing up only when I edit video information, song info is fine.
Weird.

Now its getting weirder, it seems like its only certain videos which this does funny characters to. I'm gonna try deleting those and reimporting them to see if that makes a difference.
try openning up ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml and editting with textedit. I would recommend though you use http://www.codingmonkeys.de/subethaedit/ (free software) and under the view option select "Show Invisible characters".
side-note: has anyone every tried using utf-16 in one of os x's xml files?
p.s. Vietnamese uses Roman characters.
