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.

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."
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.
Some videos have an option to have them on or off. Look at the bottom of the video for a "CC" button (closed captions). If it's there then try that. Otherwise, the video might have been rendered with the subtitles on it, therefore they cannot be removed, you have to either put up with them or find the same video somewhere else.
Providing subtitles for television programmes and films is called captioning. Stenocaptioners use a machine to provide live captions but you captions for pre-recorded films etc can be added using a qwerty keyboard. You could google captioning in your area to see which companies provide the service.
One can learn more on video captions by reading the Technology Today magazine. They have a lot of articles on technology about video captions and how to use them.

No one was there to add subtitles.
Downloading subtitles for movies and TV shows is generally a good idea if the movie one has did not come with subtitles at all, or maybe not subtitles in one's native tongue. Subtitles help people understand what is being said on screen, when the language spoken is not fully understood by them.
Subtitles can be changed in an SRT file by importing them into Handbrake through the subtitles tab on the menu screen. One can then edit them as much as they want.
To turn off subtitles using a Universal One For All remote, press the "Menu" or "Settings" button to access the on-screen menu. Navigate to the "Audio" or "Subtitles" section, and select the option to disable subtitles. If the subtitles persist, try pressing the "Subtitle" or "CC" button directly on the remote, as this often toggles subtitles on and off. Refer to your specific remote model's manual for detailed instructions if needed.
