[Bug 339282] Re: wrong subtitle display in mkv-container with mplayer -subcp $encoding

[Krutov Mikle]

** Summary changed:

- wrong subtitle display in mkv-container with mplayer
+ wrong subtitle display in mkv-container with mplayer -subcp $encoding

** Description changed:

  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).
+ 1) get any video file, any russian cp1251 (may be all the other non-utf encodings are buggy) encoded 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.)
+ Happens: MPlayer doesn't read any options from -subcp (tried the encoding that enca talled me about the external sub file (cp1251) & enca:ru:utf-8) and displays subtitles wrong way. ( first attach , second one is from the very same file and external sub.)

+ also the first comment is wrong, the original sub encoding in the second mkv was utf, so it played normally.
