Dustin you say 2:1 and 2240 x 960. That’s a mismatch.
2:1 is 2048×1024.

Has he directly edited RED proxy files in the DV PAL CCIR 601 (5:4) 720×576 sequence?
Then you can simply copy these files in a new sequence with proper settings.

Do you have access to these sequences with RED files or do you only have the exported movs?

When you say he gave you footage in DV PAL 25, is it the exported quicktime file or just sequences from the project itself?

FireWire cable. The same cable that you use to capture from Z7.
Connect the camera, open the project, make sure that the camera is recognized by FCP. Then open the sequence and use print to tape.

You can print to tape using a FW.

Are you talking about the original R3D files or the Pro Res files?

You can use media manager to copy the used footage in a single location.

I would suggest that you read some basics about HD video in general and Canon 5D/7D workflows.
The resolution is 1920×1080, so whether original camera or HDV its same.
As for the transition being ragged, it’s because of you are editing the original camera files which are H.264 encoded, You need to edit them in ProRes.

You will have to change the sequence settings, select Apple ProRes codec in compressor dropdown list.Then render the whole sequence and export a self contained mov file.

Take that file to compressor and select a dvd preset. You might have to modify the dvd preset to change frame rate settings.
Once compressor is done, take the output files to DVD Studio Pro and burn a dvd.

As far as I know, the dvd players can play both the NTSC as well as PAL dvds, same goes for a windows computer, so no need to worry about that.

Can you please tell more about your sequence settings? are you using source camera files in a sequence with HDV1080i60 compressor?

Why are you using HDV format? is it specified so by the client? Have you converted the 5D files to ProRes?
