Closed captions are hidden in the video signal and have to be turned on, or “opened” to be seen, while subtitles are always visible. Well, except for DVD and Blu-ray discs. DVD and BD subtitles can be turned on and off, and a DVD can have both closed captions and subtitles. Which type of file is right for you? We can help you decide.
