Also the good way of doing conversion itself is mysqldump table structure, then import the dump, launch mysql command line utility (or use phpmyadmin for that) and alter encoding on database and all needed tables and columns, then mysqldump the first database using utf8 charset (without dropping tables), and import this dump into second database.
