iconv-1.9.2
The iconv program converts text from one encoding to another encoding.
More precisely, it converts from the encoding given for the -f option
to the encoding given for the -t option.
if you want to convert srt subtitle files,
from X to UTF-8 character encoding,
useful for watching (Arabic, Hebrew, Farsi...) srt subtile correctly on enigma2.
example:
arabic codepage to utf-8
C:\iconv>iconv -f CP1256 -t UTF-8 The.Spirit.srt > The Spirit.utf8.srt
hebrew codepage to utf-8
C:\iconv>iconv -f CP1255 -t UTF-8 The.Spirit.srt > The Spirit.utf8.srt
