subtitles

[sharktacos]

I have made an animation, and want to put foreign language susbtitles onto it. I'm working with DVD-lab, and as far as I can tell I would have to shell out 100 bucks or so to upgrade to pro, which I would rather avoid if possible. So I am looking for a workaround.

One idea I had was to make several film clips, each with the subtitle text composed onto the video itself. The drawback to this is that it would not work with the "subtitle" button on the remote and could only be accessed through a setup menu I make.

Does anyone know a more elegant workaround to add multiple subtitles?

This looks like an alternate authoring program.
I would like to find a workaround that allows me to still use DVD-lab.

AFAIK only pro supports authoring with subs. So, there isn't any.

dvd-lab studio supports one subtitle track. it costs $35 to upgrade.

Yes I had noticed that too. That's a reasonable price. I suppose I could have 4 clips of the film with a subtitle track for each one (English, French, Spanish, German). I could make a "language" section of the DVD where the person would determine which version to play.

Hmmm, but how could I do that so they can pick the option in the language section and then not have it play immediately, but be set so when they hit play it knows to play the clip they had selected? Is there a way to do some sort of if/then ABCD switches in DVD-lab?
