Comment (by Nick):

 I asked on zeranoe.com to build a version of ffmpeg with '''--enable-
 iconv''' to support option '''-sub_charenc'''
 A new Windows build of ffmpeg built with --enable-iconv is now available:
 [http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/win32/static/ffmpeg-20130406-git-7775992-win32-static.7z]
 [http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/readme/win32/static/ffmpeg-20130406-git-7775992-win32
 -static-readme.txt]
 Thanks to zeranoe.com!

 I tested this version and now -sub_charenc is working ''(more or less)''!
 The ''(first)'' characters are converted correctly from Windows ANSI to
 UTF-8 but now I found another problem. If -sub_charenc option is used to
 convert an srt file then the last character of every subtitle paragraph is
 missing or not correct converted! (see screenshot)
 It seems a problem of the "subtitles character encoding conversion"
 function!
 This problem seems independent whether the last character is an "ordinary"
 character or a special character. Furthermore it is independent whether
 the imported srt file is a Windows/DOS or Unix text file.

 Could somebody please check this problem using option "-sub_charenc" with
 an Linux build of ffmpeg and/or avcodec created with --enable-iconv?

 Command line:
 {{{
 ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -sub_charenc CP1252 -i subtitle_test_2.srt -map 0:v
 -map 0:a -c copy -map 1 -c:s:0 srt -metadata:s:s:0 language=ger
 ffmpeg_srt-subtitle_2.mkv
 }}}
 ''(test files see attachment)''
