I've been editing 720p footage from the HVX the last couple days.
When I'm ready to burn the final version to DVD, can't I just export using compressor using "DVD Best Quality 90 minutes 16:9?"

Is it necessary to downconvert to SD before I burn the dvd? I tested doing my method and it seemed to work fine.
 
Compressor does it for you. It knows what format goes onto DVDs.

I have not tried it yet, but DVD Studio Pro also compresses. But I've been advised to use Compressor so you can have better control.
 
I've gotten outstanding results using the exact process you describe. Much better than outputting to Quicktime directly from FCP, which sucked, although there may be a way of doing it well (I stopped trying as soon as I saw what I could get from Compressor).
