Customizing Audio and Subtitles

Hi. Got a couple questions.

1. SUBTITLES:
I am wanting to add subtitles to a video I'm rendering to mpeg-2 to be burned to dvd thru DVD-A? In the manual (Vegas 4.0) it only gave the option of adding it to .wmv files.

2. CUSTOM AUDIO OPTIONS:
My project is a yoga video with 2 audio tracks: an instructional voiceover and the other background music. With either 4.0 or DVD-A 1.0, can I put in an option of turning off the background music so people can play their own tunes and have only the voiceover track playing?

THANKS!
Peace,
Tim

Create your subtitles in Vegas using Regions. Then use the Regions to Subtitles script that you'll find in Vegas 5.

You could create a sub audio track that contains no music, label the button "Voice only" and then the user could run their own audio (if they had two audio systems or a stereo separate from the TV)
So, you'd have 2 subtracks, one that is voice only, one that is voice w/music. The user would select this.

You might want to take this thread over to the DVD Architect forum.

Thanks for the tip. I'll take it to Architect.
