7D straight to DVD

Another question about 7D footage:

If I'm going straight from the 7D video files to DVD, it doesn't make sense to convert to ProRes and then go from ProRes to MPEG2, right? It should be best going straight to MPEG2, right?

The only thing is, if I have 100 7D clips, I don't want to have to drag and drop 100 files onto a DVDSP timeline...I would want to join them into one clip. I know I can join clips with MPEG Streamclip, but that's when I'm converting to ProRes first. Is there a way to join the clips without also having to do this extra conversion step?

Thanks!
Casey

>It should be best going straight to MPEG2, right?

Yea. Convert them to Mpeg2 with Compressor.

Not sure how you're going to join up the clips if you have a lot of clips to join up. It's a clunky process if you're not using a timeline.. If it were me, I'll join them all up in DVDSP.
