Help Please! Korean subtitles (.smi) not working

I'm trying to watch .avi files with Korean subtitles (.smi). The Korean characters don't show. Instead, there are just a bunch of illegible symbols.
How do I get VLC to display korean characters in the subtitles? Same error with all my files.

1. Open Preferences and enable the Advanced mode (lower left).
2. Video > Subtitles/OSD > Text renderer | Font : /System/Library/Fonts/AppleGothic.dfont
3. Input/Codecs | Subtitles track : 0 (don't confuse with Subtitles track ID)
4. Input/Codecs > Other Codecs > Subtitles | Subtitles text encoding : EUC-KR
Try that and see how that works out.

Should try
Input/Codecs > Other Codecs > Subtitles | Subtitles text encoding : CP949

Most of the subtitles I encountered had EUC-KR encoding specified in the SMI file, and sure enough, most of my anime collection have no trouble getting their subtitles loaded with this setting.
THANKS

I followed your instructions, wesley, and tried both EUC-KR and CP949; both worked. Thanks so much. This was such a headache. I really appreciate it. Will I need to change the settings back if I want to watch English subtitles?

Nope. English is cool with that setting.
