I need to export to Delicious Library 1 in order to import into and iPhone movie app. the error i get when it tries to convert the file to import is:
Unable to parse XML file. Is it encoded in UTF-8?

Is the question in the message, or do you ask that question?
The file xml file is encoded with the charset used by Windows by default, windows-1252 for America & Western-Europe.
It may happen that invalid characters are in it, usually imported from websites through script.
If you need the file as UTF-8, you'll have to find a tool to convert it.

AMC does not offer custom XML export.
It only exports to its own XML structure, but if you want to generate an XML file like ythat one you will have to write your own conversion tool.
One thing that may be done is using the HTML export and make a template for generating a file similar to that, but some fiends can't be exported that way (e.g. actors), and it won't be in UTF8 so it would have to be converted anyway.
