Strange DVD players and DVD's

I have a very strange situation with my DVD’s and my DVD players. (all dvd’s and players are region #1) I have dvd’s that play DVD video but not the subtitles/. These are players that will play subtitles of 97% of my disc’s. AND, even more bizarre, I have one huge 13 disc collection (Band of Brothers) that will not play subtitles , but if I turn off the subtitle selection on the DVD machines (2) BUT WLL PLAY subtitles if I click on subtitles on my TV. Weird ! Any thoughts ?

also can anyone tell me the difference between subtitles and Closed Captioning (C.C.) ?

@ramses2 subtitles assume that the audience can hear the audio. Closed captioning assumes that the audience cannot hear the audio. CC are of use to individuals who can’t hear since they include background noises, speaker differentiation, and other relevant information. We would need to know the make and model of your DVD player to see if this is somewhere in the menu.
