I get an error whenever I try to use "--list-subs".
But, when I use "C:\youtube-dl http://crunchyroll/videolink --list-subs >> out.txt". The Logs from the out.txt shows and works perfectly fine.
This is from the "out.txt"

[debug] Encodings: locale cp1252, fs mbcs, out cp936, pref cp1252

If the string cannot be encoded in cp1252 or cp936, the write operation will fail. chcp may help.

I manually used "--encoding UTF8", it works fine now.
Please make a feature that tells that we are using wrong Encodings or somewhat.
