I'm trying to make a program to repair corrupted subtitle .srt files. After doing some research, I figured out some websites which repair files with this issue are converting it to UTF-8, like subtitletools.com.

I used the method I found in this link: Storing UTF-8 string in a UnicodeString to convert the text I loaded from my .srt file. Many pages suggest this way for converting. But I didn't succeed at last. What am I doing wrong?

This is my code for converting:

procedure Tfrm_main.btn_convertClick(Sender: TObject);
var UnicodeStr: UnicodeString; UTF8Str: RawByteString;
begin UTF8Str := UTF8Encode(memo_source.Text); SetCodePage(UTF8Str, 0, False); UnicodeStr := UTF8Str; memo_result.Text := UnicodeStr;
end;

The program works (the result is weird yet, but had a little difference):

Here is a screenshot of my program trying to convert a .srt file to UTF-8:
