I'm still having this error with the latest importer version which was marked as fixed:

Fixed - Error when importing from vb4: Received Invalid utf-8 for string column [filename]

Hello everyone, I was importing a VB 4.x database into XF 2.0, I got an error: [InvalidArgumentException] Received Invalid utf-8 for string column [filename] Can anybody help? Thanks very much

The solution @Zambfd provided has worked:

Hi,

it is still broken when the source forum is iso-8859-1 and there are umlauts in the description of an attachment (settings field in attachment table).
I've added the following code to line 3396ff in /addons/XFI/Import/Importer/vBulletin.php

if ( isset($settings['title']) ) {
   $settings['title'] = $this->convertToUtf8($settings['title']);
}
if ( isset($settings['description'])) {
   $settings['description'] = $this->convertToUtf8($settings['description']);
}

More information about my case is here:

There is indeed still a bug in the importer that does cause an exception:
Method rewriteEmbeddedAttachments is missing a few calls to convertToUtf8 when handling settings (title, URL, etc.) for inline attachments.

$attributes['alt'] = $this->convertToUtf8($settings['title']);

$description = preg_replace( '/[\r\n]/', ' ', $this->convertToUtf8($settings['description']));

$attributes['align'] = $this->convertToUtf8($settings['alignment']);

$attach = "[URL='" . $this->convertToUtf8($settings['linkurl']) . "']" . $attach . '[/URL]';

Thank you for reporting this issue, it has now been resolved. We are aiming to include any changes that have been made in a future XFI release (1.3.3).

Change log:

Convert vBulletin attachment settings to UTF-8

There may be a delay before changes are rolled out to the XenForo Community.
