A little-known feature of the iPhone is its ability to display subtitles on movides. To do this, you just need the free programs MKVtools, SubCleaner, and Subler, and a
conversion program -- I recommend FilmRedux. Once those are installed on your Mac, do this:
- Convert the file to a raw, unsubtitled .MP4 with FilmRedux
- Extract the UTF8 subtitle file (.srt) from the original file with MKVtools
- Clean up the .srt with subcleaner
- Merge the .mp4 and the .srt together in subler
Then sync the movie over to your iPhone. Next to the rewind button, a new subtitle button will appear.
