Yeah, encoding gives me a headache!! I tried to do this but can't find any 
good information on how to do it properly.  So I thought it worked and, as 
I've seen that kde 3.1 doesn't have a handy dialog to select the encoding 
when you open a file, I tried to do this myself, but I've seem to have done 
something wrong.  I've got this file in polish to test on, and it looked like 
it worked when I labelled KSubtile 1.0.  Maybe you can give me some other 
file at my email address?  thanks!

It is possible, but the problem then is that you need to use X11 as video 
output I think to make it work OK.  Just look at kmplayer, i tried it once 
and I only saw my video in the application itself when I tried X11, and I 
didn't find this very good.  Also, my GUI takes up a lot of space already, so 
I think it is not really good to make it use even more space by doing the 
playing all in the same window.  I already had someone who found this 
'separate-window' behaviour to be better than the other approach, so it is 
not high on my priorities list sorry :-)
