How do I get subtitles on a movie I rented?
the movie I rented said it was foreign but did not say there were subtitles. So I thought might b in English. No, it's in German and there are no subtitles. Useless to me!?

"Do rented movies have subtitles or closed captioning ?
Some movies do have subtitles and/or closed captioning. Movies containing subtitles will be noted either in the movie title, or within the Plot Summary of the movie. Those that have closed captioning will have the Closed Captioning logo on the movie page: CC"
i guess I assumed "foreign" films came w the option of subtitles. I was hoping it was just a glitch. Now I paid to rent a movie I can't watch? Seems a bit slick on apple's part...
As with anything you buy these days from anybody, read the "box". If it doesn't say there are subtitles then don't assume there are. There are many of us resident in the USA who speak German, for example. 🙂 There used to be a video rental place near here that had exclusively foreign films and not all of them had subtitles, you had to read each box to be sure if you didn't speak Farsi or Urdu or whatever.
Thanks for the info. Looks like a good movie!?!!
