Heaven helps those who help themselves… I have installed SABU on my iPhone and it seems that, for a mere 8 €, I get something quite effective and flexible.
Finding suitable subtitles for dramas turned out to be relatively easy, using the sites referenced on the wiki, and googling <name of the drama in Japanese> + 無料視聴 returns enough addresses from which to get the mp4.
The program allows one to display two sets of subtitles (Jp + en), with built in dictionary lookup, and a fine-tuning option to optimize the sync.
SABU also includes a convenient flashcard option with audio and instant jump back to the point in the video where the word was first encountered.
My only request would be to add an export function for those who prefer using Anki or another application for reviewing.
