Quicktime Movie, same settings is generally the fastest option as there's no transcoding going on,
just data transfer.
trouble is HDV has to do a lot of "Preparing" (cant remember what FCP calls it) before you can export.
it's the fault of HDV,s mpeg compression.
no way around that, i think.
some say there's quality issues, when the HDV is then compressed to MPEG in compressor.
but for a bash copy of rushes, it'd fine

well, there has been less than zero foresight on this project.
we don't have a stand alone dvd burner unfortunately.
so I made a quicktime movie and now it's in compressor.
we shot at a popular food chain location and they just wanna hear what goes on in the scene, doesn't have to be the flashiest dvd around.
thanks guys!

If you output a QT movie, then open a new 4:3 DV25 sequence, import the HDV QT movie, drop it into the DV25 sequence and output that as a QT movie, that'll pop into iDVD quicker. I've done exactly that and I don't remember it being all THAT time consuming.
The fastest way would be to rent a Matrox MXO (to play out as DV25 from the HDV timeline, which I'm assured it will do) and a DVD burner if you're going to be doing dailies.

do you still need to use "Anamorphicizer" in iDVD if you are using files from FCP?

I use the Canopus ADVC 110. It uses firewire in from the computer (as you play your FCP timeline in real time). The only negative is that it uses RCA cables to run out into your VCR or DVD recorder. As you may or may not know RCA cables subtract 6 DB of volume. So you may want to render a loudness maximizer (plugin) to your audio before making dubs onto DVD or VHS.
