Hey im dealing with an issue about subs. My pc's version is english and the installation of windows was made in english so nothing is greek and i got problem with greek subtitles because i cant read them. When i open the .srt i get weird characters (ex: άνοιξε το λιμάνι Μαριέλ). I tried to save the subs as utf8 and unicode but nothing worked, i still get those weird symbols. I also downloed notepad++ but it didnt work neither. However, VLC player is able to read them correctly when im playing the movie. But i just want to make them readable in the notepad, so i can view and edit them any time. What can i do for that situation?
Try StreamFab Downloader and download from Netflix, Amazon, Youtube! Or Try DVDFab and copy Blu-rays! or rip iTunes movies!

@ HOK1N
I opened it in Notepad++. Used "Encoding -> Convert to UTF8". Saved it.
In my case, when I opened in Notepad++ it gave me the greek letters direct. Nothing to be done, except to save it as a new file, as txt file type.
And after that I opened such txt file using Subtitle Edit and save it again into srt format, using UTF8 encoding. Just in case to avoid any mistake.
what should i do to make them readable every time i open the srt files in notepad?
Open /saving the text correctly before, using UTF8 encoding, you can open later using Notepad displaying correctly all the greek letters.
And even other languages letters / alphabets too, like arabic, chinese, hebrew, etc.
You can open using Word or similar programs too. Maybe they get you the correct character encoding used on the text.
Thanks.
Best regards.

@ sneaker
No. Just don't.
Why not? Here I can do it like this way too, if I know the correct language the text was encoded / written. -
You can open using Word

Using ΅$oft Word for dealing with plain-text is like using a truck for transporting ONE pencil

As I suspected, the .srt file you uploaded to this thread is not UTF-8.
Instead of "protecting" Notepad (and MS Paint) with the TrustedInstaller idiocy,
Micro$oft should make it *save as Unicode* by default.
Besides making it understand UNIX and MAC line-endings, of course.Last edited by El Heggunte; 24th Sep 2016 at 08:15. Reason: add emphasis
