It all depends. Do you want a video you are posting captioned or a video you want to see?





If it is a video you want to see you are very limited to the format of the video. If it is a Macromedia video, like flash, if the person who post it has put captions and a way of tuning them on/off, then yes. if the person who made the video did not provide captions, then no.





If you are creating a video and want to put captions and have the ability to turn them on/off, then you need to create it in Macromedia. If you use wmv, the most common windows video format, then you can only make text captions that are seem always without the possibility of turning them off.





Think of a flash video or animation as a video game and a wmv as a VHS movie. In a video game the developer decides how much control of the game he wants creating thousands of possibilities. The same way a flash video can give you many abilities, but all determined by the video developer or editor.





By the same token, a wmv (windows media video) is like a VHS video. You just put it on the VCR (in this case click play) and you see the video. you can pause, play, rewind, fast forward, raise the volume, but that's just about it.





so the way to go is with flash. sites that are ahead of the game are using mostly micromedia, or web 2.0.
