I have uploaded a movie I made a few years ago.  I used Sony DVD Architect to author my DVD's and made subtitles in English, Korean, Japanese, and Chinese).  Uploading these subtitles to Youtube however has been a nightmare.

Youtube is extremely vague in this area.  Can someone tell me what the correct encoding and format is?  Someone said ANSI, which works fine for English, but not so well for Asian languages.  I used Subtitle Workshop 4 to convert my DVD Architect subtitle exports to ".srt" (as youtube does not accept the exports directly).
