Do you actually plan for them to end up on Blu-Ray discs?

Well, capture from the camcorder doesn’t change the video.. you get your 1440×1080@30p just as it’s recorded on tape, in an MPEG-2 transport stream “wrapper”.
Fortunately, this is a supported format on Blu-Ray, so as long as you’re not building long films, you don’t really need to chance the video at all.
You probably have to re-render… HDV is damn close to Blu-Ray format, but there’s apparently something different — DVDA doesn’t want to produce a BD without re-rendering you HDV. Different GOP structure, maybe?
Anyway, you should create a Vegas or DDVA project at 1080/60i. Blu-Ray does support the 1440×1080 resolution of HDV as well as “full” 1920×1080, but it doesn’t technically support 30p. When you render 30p as 60i, what you’ll see on most modern televisions is effectively 30p anyway (few modern displays can actually display interlaced video anyway).
