Converting 8bit sourses to UTF-8 needs exactly 2 calls of Windows API functions (MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte for ASCII -> UTF16 -> UTF8). I don't know how retarded e.g. Linux really is, but I do know that I don't care how it is done there...but it is possible. It must be, because MKV only allows UTF-8 encoding (which means, btw, that klingon in real klingon letters is impossible, as those are not yet included in UTF-8)
Hrm, as far as I can tell, my linux system seems to have better utf-8 support than any version of windows I've ever tried. (Window's native unicode is UTF-16, MS's notepad corrupts files with BOM's, many windows applications seem to have trouble with anything outside of MS's "codepages" which are a really outdated concept and totally incompatible with anything)

Do you know what a BOM is?
How do you know that notepad isnt putting them in there?
(Last time I checked on winxp there was no way to disable them in notepad either)

MUHAHAHAHAHAH With "corrupt" you meant "adds"? LOL

I thought you meant it damaged your files if they had a BOM before saving them. You probably mean that some retarded applications don't handle files with BOM, and that you don't blame those applications, but Notepad instead? HAHA.

Prepending a BOM ***is** corrupting the file. Try editing a perl script if you think otherwise.
Its quite natural to blame a broken editor rather than pretty much every text programming
language in existence, just to name one family of things.
