Have you ever stuck in movies with chinese characters subtitle ?

I tried to find a solution at internet with various tips without any success. If you want to convert or record movies with chinese subtitle which shows only cryptic characters do as follow:
- Open the subtitle file .srt with Windows MS word 2003 or later. It will ask you if you want to use BIG5 or other Chinese decoder to open the file. If the characters are familiar to you just click “ok” to continue.
- Mark all text and CTRL-C. Exit the MS Word.
- Open the .srt file again but this time you open it with Notepad.exe
- Mark all text and use CTRL-V to paste the text from previous copy.
- Save it with Save As… Change the Encoding type to Unicode instead of ANSI. Save the file with quotation mark like “abc.srt”. This makes sure it will not save as .txt in extension.
- Now you can use ConvertX to create a DVD with subtitle.
Hope this could solve your problem. If you need any help you can email me.
