youtube
As suggested by the title, suppose I’m given all the video links under a YouTube channel.
Is there anyway that I can tell if each video has close captions automatically generated by YouTube or manually added by users without clicking into each video link and turning on the subtitle to check its quality?
Can't think of a faster way. I would download the videos with Firefox Download Helper extension (you just right-click on status bar and download), and then maybe not use YouTube, but a similar service (as you don't mind about SEO, etc, and is more about just having them available).
I'd use Viddler, as in my tests, it does not re-compress an FLV and should show at the same quality (no loss) that you downloaded from YouTube. Download Helper usually will let you download the several resoloutions flvs available.
However, the involved procedure of re-uploading to YouTube might bring a loss in quality.
You can just hover over the video and an icon like this...
The top one, the clock, will add it to your "watch later" list
and the one beneath it with the three lines and arrow adds the video to your queue
You can do this directly from the feed while looking at YouTube videos when you hover over the video. This works int he new YouTube layout so if you are still using the old YouTube layout I'm not sure how that would work.
There is also three dots usually next to a video anywhere on YouTube and when you press it this pops up...
(Add to queue, Save to Watch later, Save to playlist, and Report)
You can press any of the three and it will add the video to a playlist

YouTube does not support filtering an specific account's uploads to only show captioned videos.
However you can filter the search result for videos with subtitles like this.
