It is not important to have closed captions on videos on you tube because they are just subtitles and not necessary.
Closed captions are subtitles that are embedded into the video, mainly for the deaf or hard of hearing. Now also used in learning foreign languages
You are confusing closed captions with subtitles.DVDs have subtitles, which are controlled (turned on or off, or changed to another language) by the DVD player.TV programs have closed captions, which are controlled by the TV.
Currently the wmv and .scc files are in the same directory, and windows media has closed captions enables, however when the wmv is played, captions fail to appear.

Its a movie theater, it's not meant to have close captions
Closed Captions (CC) are a standardized method of encoding text into an NTSC television signal. The text can be displayed by a TV with a built-in decoder or by a separate decoder. All TVs larger than 13 inches sold in the US since 1993 have Closed Caption decoders. Closed Captions can be carried on DVD, videotape, broadcast TV, cable TV, and so on. Even though the terms caption and subtitle have similar definitions, captions commonly refer to on-screen text specifically designed for hearing impaired viewers, while subtitles are straight transcriptions or translations of the dialogue. Captions are usually positioned below the person who is speaking, and they include descriptions of sounds (such as gunshots or closing doors) and music. Closed captions are not visible until the viewer activates them. Open captions are always visible, such as subtitles on foreign videotapes. Closed Captions on DVDs are carried in a special data channel of the MPEG-2 video stream and are automatically sent to the TV. You can't turn them on or off from the DVD player. Subtitles, on the other hand, are DVD subpictures, which are full-screen graphical overlays (see 3.4 for technical details). One of up to 32 subpicture tracks can be turned on to show text or graphics on top of the video. Subpictures can also be used to create captions. To differentiate from NTSC Closed Captions and from subtitles, captions created as subpictures are usually called "captions for the hearing impaired."
If a movie has Open Captions (OC), the film captions will displayed on the movie screen. Descriptive Video uses the same technology as the Closed Captioning (or Rear Window Captioning), but is quite different in how it works. Descriptive Video is for guests who are visually impaired. With a special set of headphones the action of the movie is described. Closed Captioning uses a transparent acrylic panel which attaches to the seat and reflects the captions so that they appear superimposed on the movie screen and are only visible to the guest using the reflector.
There are no 2-letter English words with C.
In Brasil, the same content as Globo International is captioned in Portuguese.
It is not a question of which one you need but what the audience needs. If your audience needs subtitles or closed captions to enjoy your content, you should provide them. Subtitles and closed captions are of utmost importance for people with hearing difficulties. They help them follow the story with the help of text. But there are other benefits to them as well. They make it easier for second language speakers, people with reading disabilities, or anyone who wants to watch something without reading or listening to the dialogue.
