This error means that it can not decode the first character of the file.
It might be that this character is the BOM character that some programs put in the begining of a UTF-8 file.
I've made a utility some time ago to convert between ANSI and UTF-8 encodings. I could choose to add or not the BOM character. See if it can help you. It must be in the Software section of the
www.noembryo.com and its called Subber (it was made for subtitles...)
