Does any of your DVDs have the "CC" logo on the sleeve? That might
indicate something. Or then again, perhaps not. Wouldn't be the first
time DVD features are misadvertised on the packaging.
Then there are some manufacturers which apparently just ignore the "CC"
feature altogether:

(Unfortunately, I can't offer you any example of a DVD title that would
certainly have line 21 "CC" data on it as I live in a PAL country
myself. I haven't really been buying movies from overseas. All of my
NTSC format DVDs are personal home-video type material. Perhaps the
original poster could reveal the name of the title he was viewing.)
