Description:
VLC player does not show correctly Cyrillic (Bulgarian - windows cp1251) subtitles. It shows only some strange characters (which look like "zeros"). And yes, I chose the Windows CP1251 encoding.
In other players (ex. SMPlayer) everything works correctly and in VLC under win xp the subtitles are fine.


Additional info:

extra/vlc 1.0.2-3
