How can I add subtitles with imovie?

Can it be done? I'm trying to do something similar to closed captioning for a project I'm currently working on. It is a video I did in spanish, but need to add english subtitles. Any ideas?

hey appleman,
i noticed your reply here... it was helpful but i still don't get it. perhaps you could enlighten me?
first of all, i had to use imovie hd (6.0.3) because imovie '08 wouldn't import my movie clip... i'm frankly baffled at how crippled and useless this newer version is.
i managed to create subtitles one by one by splitting my movie with cmd-T, typing my title, dragging the slider and checking the preview until the title appeared for the right length of time, and clicking "add". this worked well but was extremely slow, so i looked for a more efficient way.
then i read your post and tried following your advice. i split my entire movie into clips at the appropriate intervals for subtitles (using cmd-T).
at this point i got stuck.
first of all, i notice imovie allows adding multiple subtitles, but i couldn't find a way to sync them to my movie.
i tried dragging the titles to the appropriate spots, between clips, but unfortunately, imovie fades these titles out before the clip ends!
if i extend the title's duration by dragging the slider, imovie re-splits the movie to fit the length of the title!
can imovie somehow be made to understand that the length of the clip is also the length i want the subtitle to be???
also, what's the point of imovie's multiple subtitle feature? does it work? can i move from one subtitle to the next? how is this done?
thanks a lot in advance!

Use the following code:
set an document encoding
l_encoding = l_ixml->create_encoding( character_set = 'UTF-8'
                                        byte_order = if_ixml_encoding=>co_none ).
l_success = l_ostream->set_encoding( encoding = l_encoding ).
create a xml renderer
l_renderer = l_ixml->create_renderer( document = l_doc ostream = l_ostream ).

How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

How can I add "Edit with Photoshop CS5" to the Edit With options?

I think it has something to do with the order in which the PSE and PS are installed on your machine.
For me, I can see option for editing in photoshop both in edit menu and from the action bar. I probably had Photoshop installed on my system before PSE

Go to iTunes prefs>Playback - from the drop down menu select your language.
You will see sub-titles if the media is programed with sub-titles. Not all content has sub-titles.

How can I add 16 iMovies

How can I add 16 iMovies to my iDVD. It is only allowing me to add 10. is there another template can use?

Hmmm, iDVD6 should be able to do 60 minutes at best performance and 120 minutes with best quality when using normal single layer DVDs, so the 83 minutes doesn't seem to be the issue as you must already be set for best quality (120 minutes max) to get that far. Unless your 11th movie puts you over 120 minutes?
I have never added that many movies to a single DVD project before, so never ran into this issue. I wonder if there is an upper limit to the number of different projects you can add.
