> How?
If the source srt/ass '''text file''' is codec in UTF-8 it can be detected
with the UTF-8 BOM sequence 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF
([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark Byte Order Mark]).
If UTF-8 BOM was not found it should be a plain text file which should be
converted from CP-1252/ISO-8859-1 to UTF-8 as default.

For option -sub_charenc I found only:
{{{
-sub_charenc <string> .D...S set input text subtitles character
encoding
}}}
and
{{{
‘sub_charenc encoding (decoding,subtitles)’
Set the input subtitles character encoding.
}}}
Seems only a decoder option!(?) What can be used as <encoding string>?
cp1252, ...?
Sorry, I do not get it to work with this option. Please show me a working
command line example!
