HI everyone
I am desperately trying to get arabic subtitles to work with streaming windows media in Windows Media Player.

I can get the stream and the SMI-file to synch allright,
But I cannot get the arabic text to show arabic. Instead i get all kinds of strange characters, but its not Arabic.

I am tryng to help a crew that want to start online video rentals in Dubai, so I cannot show you the url in question (rights issues).

Has anyone successfully done this?
What ideas do you guys have?
