 > How?
 If the source srt/ass '''text file''' is codec in UTF-8 it can be detected
 with the UTF-8 BOM sequence 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF
 ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark Byte Order Mark]).
 If UTF-8 BOM was not found it should be a plain text file which should be
 converted from CP-1252/ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 as default.

 For option -sub_charenc I found only:
 {{{
  -sub_charenc       <string>     .D...S set input text subtitles character
 encoding
 }}}
 and
 {{{
 ‘sub_charenc encoding (decoding,subtitles)’

     Set the input subtitles character encoding.
 }}}

 Seems only a decoder option!(?) What can be used as <encoding string>?
 cp1252, ...?
 Sorry, I do not get it to work with this option. Please show me a working
 command line example!
