Try converting the file from utf8 to marc8 before opening it.

Subject: Chinamaxx MARC records--can't open or break with MarcEdit

All,

Recently I've been experiencing glitches trying to open or break *some* .mrc files. For the specific file in question (attached--40 records for Chinese ebooks) I get error messages when I use MarcBreaker and MarcValidator, as well as when I try to open the .mrc file directly in the MarcEditor. (Currently using MarcEdit version 5.9.4880.40351)

When I open the file in Notepad, I get what looks more or less like unformatted raw MARC, e.g.:

01422nam a2200325Ia 4500001001400000005001700014006001100031007001500042008004100057020001500098035001500113040001200128041000800140043001200148100002700160245008400187250002200271260010900293300003200402490004100434504004100475533013400516590004600650856014300696880002600839880007700865880002400942880009200966880003801058SSTAR1015797920111051082812.0m        dcr cnu---unuuu130515s1989    cc a    sb    000 0 chi d  a7800570126  aSS10157979  aaSXcSX0 achi  aa-cc-ti1 6880-01aZhang, Tianlu.106880-02aXizang ren kou de bian qianh[electronic resource] /cZhang Tianlu zhu.  6880-03aDi 1 ban.  6880-04aBeijing :bZhongguo Zang xue chu ban she :bXin hua shu dian Beijing fa xing suo fa xing,c1989.  a2, 110 p. :bill. ;c19 cm.0 6880-05aXizang zhi shi xiao cong shu  aIncludes bibliographical references.  aElectronic reproduction.bBeijing :cSuperStar,d2005.nSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.nAvailable via World Wide Web.  aAVAILABLE ONLINE TO AUTHORIZED PSU USERS.40zAccess via Chinamaxx for authorized PSU users onlyuhttp://www.chinamaxx.net/showbook?dxNumber=10157979&d=DD34B32A2E6D0DAEB99A541194A0AFFE1 6100-01/$1a張天路.106245-02/$1a西藏人口的變遷h[electronic resource] /c張天路著.  6250-03/$1a第1版.  6260-04/$1a北京 :b中國藏學出版社 :b新華書店北京發行所發行,c1989.0 6490-05/$1a西藏知識小叢書

Can anyone (perhaps someone with more experience than I with Chinese character sets) open this file and or convert it to .mrk format? Are there errors in the data that are causing the glitch or is there something I'm missing with regard to opening/viewing the file?

Thanks,

Jeff
