 Summary of the bug:
 As Matroska specifications all subtitle files should be coded in UTF-8,
 even if srt specs admit CP1252 only, mkvtoolnix convert the files in UTF-8
 anyway.
 Actually Subtitles videofilter reads mkv incuded subtitles as CP1252.
 Also ffmpeg online documentation specify:
 "charenc
 Set subtitles input character encoding. subtitles filter only. Only useful
 if not UTF-8."
 How to reproduce:
 {{{
 % ffmpeg -i input -vf subtitles=input output
 ffmpeg version
 built on ...
 }}}
 Patches should be submitted to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list and not this
 bug tracker.
