[Bug 339282] [NEW] wrong subtitle display in mkv-container with mplayer

[Krutov Mikle]

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:
1) get any video file, any russian utf-8 encoded (may be, any language/encoding is buggy) srt-subtitles (didn't check ass).
2) try to mkvmerge it (mkvmerge file.avi file.srt -o file.mkv)
3) then use MPlayer to play it.

Expected: MPlayer plays the file right, displaying subs readable way.
Happens: MPlayer doesn't read any options from -subcp (tried all ru encodings & enca:ru:utf-8, thinking that options are ignored because the display of characters is everytime wrong the same way, with any -subcp option.) and displays subtitles in the wrong encoding. ( first attach , second one is from the very same file and external sub.)
