Use TyTool (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=47025 and
http://www.tytool.com/tytemplates/FAQ/default.aspx). It gets the files
off faster than FTP, lets you do frame-accurate editing and converts the
audio to 48kHz for DVD *without* re-encoding the video, creates a DVD
fileset complete with a menu and then all you have to do is burn the
fileset as a DVD-Video. Be prepared to read a lot of FAQs and go up a
learning curve; the quality of the results are worth it. HTH
