A simple script created in Python 3.5 for those who are struggling by the "weird" subtitle characters showing on video players. This utility just recognises file encoding using cchardet library and then creates a new file-copy with UTF-8 encoding.
Terminal
utf8it {[-options] [file/folder(1)] [file/folder(2)]...}
Options:
e : Show file encoding without converting it
Binary
Drag'n drop the file(s) or folder(s) you want to convert.
