Hello All,
I am trying to see Hindi(Indian Language) subtitle using VLC. I can see only the "?" . I have already tried setting Arial Unicode for font and UTF-8 as encoding. I guess Hindi uses ISCII instead of UTF-8. Can some one help me on this?
Thanks,
Shibu..

Re: ISCII Encoding subtitle
Try to force the ISCII encoding in sutitles preferences.

Re: ISCII Encoding subtitle
J-b,
Thanks for your reply. You mean changing subsdec-encoding section in vlcrc file. That did not work for me. I am sure I am using Unicode font but not sure whether it is UTF8 or ISCII. Please find the test srt file attached.

यह क्या है
Thanks,

Re: ISCII Encoding subtitle
Those chars are UTF8 (at least I assume so because they show up correctly).
Re: ISCII Encoding subtitle
OK, Any clue why it is showing up '?' instead of the words. I am using VLC Media Player 1.0.0- git-20081123-0005 Goldeneye.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: ISCII Encoding subtitle
I am having the same problem with UTF-8 srt subtitle that chinese/japanese characters just show up as a box regardless what font file I use. After much googleing, I have pretty much gave up and just am waiting for a new release version that support this.You could try newer builds.

BTW, can anyone clarify should the UTF-8 file have BOM?
