Garbled SRT Text

Hey, guys.

So I’m got ahold of some SRT files for the anime Monster and was trying to study from them. When I open any of these files up the text appears somewhat garbled. I was hoping someone else may have had a similar experience that could provide me with a tip on how to fix these files. All advice is welcome.

ie:

  1. If they display correctly in the media player then make sure you’re opening them with the correct encoding in your text editor.

  2. Solution Found! I didn’t realize I was opening these SRT’s with Windows’ “WordPad”. When I open them with “Notepad” the text is no longer garbled and features perfectly fine Japanese text. 🙂
