Subtitles with DVDSP...newbie please help...

Hi,
I will be using my new Intel iMac 20-inch dual booting XP and OS X and will be my primary workhorse for my heavy duty DV editing and DVD authoring.
My question is this:
My source is NTSC DV AVIs with timecode information. I would like to use the timecode information (DV timestamp) as subtitle. For testing purposes, I will be trying out Premiere Pro or Edius Pro or any other NLE software on XP to get my MPEG2 files out of the source AVI files. So, at what point do I use subtitling software to get my subtitles and add it to my video? Does DVDSP support importing subtitle information along with the video and audio tracks? Also, I don't want to burn the subtitles on top of my mpgs. Is there a way for me to add the subtitle as a separate track?
The confusing part is once I convert the AVIs to DVD compliant mpgs, the size of the mpgs will be significantly less compared to the AVIs. So, if thats the case, adding subtitles along with mpg in DVDSP will not sync with the video? I want to get the timestamp displayed as a subtitle the exactly as I see it when I play my video in my camcorder by turning on the datacode information on my Canon GL1.

Appreciate feedback.

Hi Moved2Mac,
If I understand your question correctly you might want to try this software http://www.titlefactory.com/
I have used this for quite a few projects. Not the easiest software to learn, but once you get the hang of it it can be very fast. You just have to prep your text correctly. It can spit out a text file in which DVDSP can generate the subtitles or bitmaps. Both with the proper timecoded scripts. Oh, it's a PC (Windows XP) app, if you still have your PC.
