Re: UTF-8 to ANSI
I don't understand why somebody still needs pre-Unicode encodings. For Russian you have KOI8 and Windows cp1251. And less frequently used ISO8859-5 (Latin/Cyrillic)
I don't know what you mean with "ANSI". This is an American organisation that has nothing to do with Russia or Russian. Perhaps you mean Windows codepage 1251. In that case:

Re: UTF-8 to ANSI
Most encodings are starting to slowly go away and move towards generalization of utf8 or similar "broad" standards. I would suggest you to try adapting w/e support you need non-unicode encoding to allow unicode, rather than trying to force a last-generation encoding. Just saying.
Re: UTF-8 to ANSI
utf-8 is definitely way to go. Would be so happy to have just utf8 files on server....
Re: UTF-8 to ANSI
So would I.
Why don't you do the conversion? Yes, I know it is easier to say than to do. But you could try gradually. Perhaps some known-to-work languages.
But then you have the problem with multilanguage subtitles. You have just one language but many subtitles have some words in other languages. For example, many English subs have some French words like "fiancé" or Spanish like "adiós".
Anyway it must be done carefully. And perhaps with human intervention.
But it would be great.

Re: UTF-8 to ANSI
And then you have VERY WEIRD files like this:
http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitl ... ympathy-fr
It is UTF-8 except the French character "œ" (U+0153) which is encoded as Windows cp1252, i.e. it gives U+009C which is a control character, not what was intended I think. For example:
"Les cœurs d'enfants"
As we Spaniards say "vivir para ver" (live and you'll learn) :-D
Can I correct this or should I upload a new file?
