Convert/Save reports file already exists

Everytime I'm converting a network stream (HTTP) I get this error dialog that says the file already exists. This is some sort of a regression, because that always worked in the past. Incidentally, the recorded file is completely corrupted and doesn't play. I used to not have any trouble with this at all. I'm running:

  • Linux: OpenSuse 12.2
  • VLC version: VLC media player 2.1.0-git Rincewind (revision 2.1.0-git)

Here's the output from VLC on the command line when saving this URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6xJfP7-HCc

Playing back I get these errors:

I have to say that the player can play the network stream just fine, just not the recorded file. It seems that saving as Theora is fine.
