Windows 10: How to correctly display the French diacritic signs in .srt and .ssa in Windows 10?

I am translating movie subs using Subtitle Edit and Subtitle Workshop. But in the .srt and .ssa files, the French diacritic signs are not displayed correctly. Precisely, it's about four diacritic sign, é, ê, ï and ç. Whatever I do, manually replacing them, replacing them with the Replace feature in SW or SE, these signs are displayed incorrectly. I was told that I could convert the .srt file into utf8, but that erases all the sub timing details, and a subtitle without timings is a nonsense. Is there a possibility to solve this problem?

srt native support windows 10

It's indeed quite annoying, all those articles and promises in March about native srt support, like http://microsoft-news.com/windows-1...upport-for-ssa-****-and-srt-subtitle-formats/, and now when we have it, there is no source what
so ever that the support is there.

 

srt native support windows 10

Hello!

Thank's for your reply.

I did not installed any codecs because, as i say, i read read that windows 10 have native support for .srt.

http://www.neowin.net/news/windows-10-will-natively-support-ssa-****-and-srt-subtitle-formats

I have looked for codecs but could not find any for srt files that worked with windows media player or Windows Media Player 12 or the App Movies&TV whne i play it wit a .mkv file.

Could you tell me where to find those codecs?

Will windows 10 in the future have support for this kind of files?

Thanks
