I would recommend just exporting each file to separate Quicktime movie and then bringing them together in a single sequence. For actually creating the DVD, here’s the workflow I would use for converting HD video to DVD.

Scenarist might be your best option for DTS-HD. I wrote called BlueX. BlueX wraps the H.264 video from a Blu-ray DVD into a Quicktime movie without recompressing. BlueX only supports AC3 blu-rays at the moment. I would love to get a sample of your Blu-ray disk and add support for this audio format. Shoot me a message on the cow if you are interested.

I would recommend using Compressor instead of DVD SP because you have more control over the encoding. Here’s the workflow in an article I wrote on transferring HD video to DVD.

For the very best quality export your video to a stand alone quicktime file with the 8 bit uncompressed codec. DVDs are 8 bit Ycbcr and using the 8 bit codec ensures that there is no color or re-compression issues.
MPEGStreamclip isn’t a terrible application, but I’ve seen a lot of posts of people reporting problems with it. MPEGStreamclip fails to properly read the DVDs aspect ratio on some DVD and other people have reported frame drops and field order reversal issues. I would recommend the application that I wrote called DVDxDV over MPEGStreamclip. Try them both and decide for yourself.

It’s in Final Cut 5.14 which should be part of Final Cut Studio 1.0.

I’m not sure what you mean. I have Compressor 4.0 and it should work for converting the AVI files. As long as Quicktime can read it, Compressor should be able to read it, as well.

I think Program Stream timecode isn’t defined all that well defined as a standard. I would recommend doing a window burn out of Final Cut Pro, if you can live with that.

I wrote an article on this very topic. It outlines the steps for going from Final Cut Pro with HD footage into DVD Studio Pro.

MPEGStreamclip is going to recompress your video. BlueX is transferring the H.264 into a Quicktme file without recompressing or changing it. So, BlueX converts the footage almost instantly. It handles interlaced H.264 video and puts it in the Quicktime file so it plays out correctly.

Are you seeing this problem on a external monitor that is interlaced? If you step frame by frame are you seeing this flicker? Try removing the Telecine in Compressor. Drag your file into compressor and select a ProRes codec encoding option. Click on the frame control tab. Turn on frame control. Under de-interlace click the popup button and set it to Reverse Telecine. Give that a shot.
