I think it's an encoding issue. I too sometimes have a subtitle that won't open 
in Movist. I fix this by opening the subtitle in TextEdit and save it (no 
changes required). Then Movist recognizes it.

I just had this issue and fixed it.

The .srt file was saved as UTF-8 and I re-saved it as Windows (1252) encoding, 
after that Movist had no problem.

That might cause some issues with special characters I guess but it's better 
than nothing.
