VLC does not display correctly special characters in subtitle streams of MOV files
VLC 2.0.6 does not display the right characters if you try to show special characters of Languages like French, German, Spanish, etc. in subtitle streams that are encoded inside MOV containers.
(Special characters inside other containers like MP4 and MKV are working fine!)
This problem seems older because VLC 1.1.11 shows the same problem! The nightly build of VLC (vlc-2.0.7-20130416) has this problem also! Furthermore it is independent of the "Subtitle Encoding" setting inside of VLC.
Other media player software's are showing the same MOV video with such subtitle on the correct way! Tested media players to compare:
Media Player Classic - Home Cinema 1.6.6
SMPlayer 0.8.4
XBMC 12.0
