I download Japanese subtitle SRT. When I open it with notepad, it appear mess up. I mean It is not japanese, can't read.... I don't know how to show correct japanese.
i Setup UTF-8 and UTF-16, but it won't fix. How can I fix???

I have japanese font in my XP. I can read Japanese in email and write japanese

you might try installing subtitle workshop and see if you can open it there. Are you trying to edit the subtitles?

I installed workshop subtitle, but still I can't see japanese correctly.
I don't edit, just want to put on video and burn DVD with convertXtoDVD.

I don't know why, because I can read email without problem.....

I'm not sure if notepad is able to show UTF-8 / 16 correctly. Try it with a better editor like word, open office or at least Wordpad

Maybe it's not in Unicode format. I can speak Russian and Cyrillic characters can be written on computers with Unicode, CP-1251 (Windows PCs), KOI8-R (usually non-Windows computers), and a few other things. To rip Russian subtitles, I had to change the code page of my PC to CP-1251 and then run SubRip. Nothing else worked. I don't think any subtitle programs that can rip or convert subtitles understand Unicode, so perhaps the file is in some other code page that supports Japanese such as ISO-2022-JP or something similar.
