Creating Subtitles & exporting them, possibly with Alpha

I have a project which requires subtitles.
I've put them on, they take the form of simple white on black text spread over two lines at the bottom of the screen.
I'm creating a DVD of this timeline and can see that Encore imports some form of Subtitling but I don't really know how best to approach it. I could just produce two versions, one with, one without subtitles but that's not very Gucci.
Ideally, I'd probably export the subtitles from the Avid as an Alpha (I guess I could export this through after effects) and import it into Encore as a separate, swithch-offable, track.

The best way I know is to create the subtitles not in Avid but in [url=http://www.belle-nuit.com]Belle Nuit's Subtitler[/url]. Made by editors for editors. You can create subtitles, import/export various formats, and - although I've never done this myself - you should be able to export a subtitle file that Encore will handle to create non-burnt-in subtitled for DVD.
