 [[BR]]
 I meant that only for encoding of (ANSI) plain text into UTF-8. Subtitle
 streams which are already encoded in UTF-8 should '''not''' re-encode
 again.
 --> check if srt file is plain text or UTF-8 --> if plain text only then
 encode to UTF-8 with selected code page setting

 Encoding of ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 as default case should be simple, see:

 utf-8-in-c-c]
