A Simple SDHC burn to Disc question

Hey guys
So this is somewhat embarrassing but pride before the fall I suppose... I'll swallow my pride and just ask. So I have high school football footage from a home video camera shot in 1080 on a Sony HD camera. The guy that shot it gave it to me on SDHC cards. Now, I have FCP 7 and certainly know how to use MPEG streamclip to convert to Apple Pro Res and then move those converted files into FCP 7 and then send that out to compressor and burn a DVD from there, but... is there a quicker way of doing that?
I need to give him the footage in DVD format to watch on a home DVD player ASAP. I'll keep doing some google searching to see if there is a quick way but wanted to post here since I know many of you guys are quick to help.
thanks

Okay, so log and transfer took up too much space I guess cause now I have a "memory full" flag...

Honestly, how does the normal "soccer mom" burn DVDs from an AVCHD camcorder these days? No way does she have Final Cut... I have to be making this over complicated.. please please... someone tell me how to go about doing this quicker!!!
 
I turned all the clips to ProRes with ClipWrap last night before I went to bed... Woke up this morning and when I drag those ProRes clips down to my timeline... well, the first one drags just fine, but then when I drag the second one down it gives me the "general error" pop up...
What the heck? Someone please chime in on my post
 
A bit late for an answer, but FCP 7 has a feature where you can burn a DVD from the timeline- just hit "Share" and "create DVD". Soccer moms use Imovie and I-DVD if they have a Mac. Sometimes I wonder about the expensive tools, I've been trying to make a decent DVD for weeks using FCP / Compressor/ DVDSP. Just for the heck of it today I tried using I-DVD and got my first viewable DVD of my feature.
