Playing various filetypes of videos,with subtitles

Hey guys, i need help. i want to know how am i going to be able to play a video with an Armenian subtitle. I have the subtitle, i made it with AHD subtitles maker pro, but i cant play it with the movie. Its giving me all this interrogation marks "???? ?????? ???? ???". I know its a codec/language thing but i just do not know how to fix it and make it work.  Any one has an idea ?

Try changing the character encoding till you find one that correctly displays Armenian characters. Try Western (ISO-something) or Western (Windows-something).
Edit: The font you are using needs to support the character set as well.

OK, here's what you do. First, you go to your language settings and choose the subtitles' language as your default non-unicode. Restart your computer. Open the subtitles file with notepad, and save it as filename.extension, save as type all files, and use UTF-8 for encoding. Rename the subtitles file to be the same as the video's name, only with different extension. Now (presuming you're on Windows 7), if you simply open the video, your subtitles should play automatically and without errors.
