I noticed many people have asked this question on Apple’s discussion forum. Yes, it’s different to turn on the closed captioning when playing iTunes movies with iTunes or other idevices, like iPhone, iTouch, Apple TV. Here I want to provide some tips on this issue.
What’s Closed Captioning (CC)
Closed captioning is a kind of special subtitle, which is designed for the people who can’t hear normally, or the people who need to watch the movies under a muted surrounding. The closed captioning is usually made with some descriptive texts.
Most iTunes movies we bought or rented contain the full closed captioning. But it’s turned off by default when we playing the movies. We have to manually turn it on if we need it. We can also backup our iTunes DRMed movies/TV shows as DRM free MP4 format with closed captioning kept.
