This is my first time dealing with .srt files and I'm already having trouble. The subtitles for the files I'm trying to view (.mkv files) refuse to display properly. I opened the .srt files up in NotePad and it turns out that the problem is within the files themselves, not my players.

The problem is this. The subtitles claim to be in english but they display as a jumbled mess of accented letters and characters. I'm sure there must be an easy way to decode/translate this into English that a normal person can actually comprehend, I just can't figure it out.

Any help is very much appreciated.

Well the SRT is pretty much just a plain txt file.

You opened them in Notepad, but you didn't really describe what you
saw - it should be clear txt English (or what ever language they're for)

Why don't you copy and past a few lines in here ?

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

It's either another language, or a fake file.

The srt should be clear text with time stamps.

Go onto the internet and find another subtitle for your movie.
