Hi Guys. I did a search and couldnt find an exact answer, but my appologies if this has been asked before.

I am using FCE 4 and I have just been comissioned for a project which needs subtitles (as it will be played on a TV in a business foyer without sound) yet it will also be used in presentations with the sound.

I think I know how to add subtitles on FCE that doesnt seem to difficult but my question is this - is it possible to have subtitles as something you can turn on and off? Like most DVDs available, within the DVD menu you can chose to have subtitles on or off - is this possible?

I am using iDVD from iLife 08 to burn the movies. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

**EDIT: Sorry in the heading I put "iMovie", I meant to put "iDVD" - I got my "i"s mixed up**
