Ali,
as I don´t know how many clips you have on your DVD, you should have a look at the sizes.I guess your main feature might be the biggest/longest one. so you HAVE to add chapter-markers to it to keep the layer-break-position happy.
note: best way to be sure the dedicated layerbreak will be written to your physical disc, you should create an iso-file and burn this to the DVD, don´t try to burn the muxed VIDEO_TS-folder.
good luck

Ali,
haven´t been on the cow a few days, so I just saw your posting.a DL-DVD needs a dedicated layerbreak-position, and layer1 needs to be smaller than layer0.
within encore there is no real possibility to manually set the layerbreak-position. If you have a chapter-marker within the valid layerbreak-area encore could/will set it as layerbreak-position.
DVD-layerbreak in NON seamless!
note: there are a few programms, Gear Pro for PC or DVD AfterEdit Mastering Edition for mac (works only with Mac OS <=10.6.x) which could add a dedicated layerbreak to a existing VIDEO_TS-folder for replication-master or ISO-creation.

Jeremy,
Jubbler is a good application to start with. I´m working on a mac as well and I´m using annotiation edit for subtitle-editing.It´s a bit weird with the subtitles, especially if you´ve got 24fps or 23.98fps. mostly you need to do a trial and error. sometimes they fit if you export as 24fps with 24fps-footage, sometimes they need to be exported as 23.98fps. no clue about it.

Jeremy,
is it 3sec to early or to late? -
Jeremy,
yes – this a DF-/NDF-thing. sometimes you need to import subtitles as 24fps and export them as 23.98 and other way round. I know this behaviour with BDN-sripts for blu-ray.could you upload the SRT-, and the resulting encore-file, so one can have a look at it.

Olaf,
have you checked the white/black-levels of your output-file? I know depending on the output-settings of MC it could get wrong at that state.other point: there was a gamma-bug within adobe media-encoding-engine (which is used by encore as well) – which version do you use?

john,
how do you QC? from a disc with a standalone-player? software-player and muxed BD-folder, or what else? -
…. but to export discrete audio-tracks from within PP nearly impossible.
other disadvantage: audio time-remapping. if you need to need to do a conforming 25>23.98 or others, audio ALLWAYS needs to be rendered prior playback. with FCP X do the conforming -> audio will play straight away, no render needed.
another one: XML-export from text-elements NOT possible
if you working with old-school DVD or Bluray (I am such an editor) and you need to export subtitles it´s impossible. premiere is not writing the text that will be created within the title-tool into the XML-file so you can´t use it for other workflows of generating subtitles out of the XML.
-> could easily be done with FCP X.

John,
DVD-assets should always be elementary streams, meaning audio + video in seperate files.acc. to field-order: forget about what encores default, the dedicated field-order you should use with your encoder is depending on the source-file. upper needs to be encoded as upper, lower as lower, otherwise you´ll generate a field-shift, which will luck jurky and like jitter.
