QuickTime Pro is probably a little easier to work with than iMovie, when
synchronizing subtitles.  Still, students might complain about being video
editors.  I haven't tried the newest version of Flash, but their promos
claim that Flash can do subtitling very simply.  It might be worth a look.
Of course, Flash costs much more than QuickTime Pro or iMovie.
