Kdenlive will handle .m2t directly, but you need a fairly beefy CPU to
handle the high def. My system grinds to a halt. Not fun.
What I ended up doing for a smallish DVD job was to grab a copy of
hdffxvrt from <http://code.google.com/p/hdffxvrt/>, change the default
resolution (MACRO_SIZE_MEDIUM) to 720x480 for NTSC DVDs, and then
pre-converted my M2Ts to mjpej for editing. This can be done in the
background while I do something else.
With your video mjpeg format, you can use pretty much any DVD
authoring method you like. I stuck with kdenlive for the editing and
then, since I have mythtv installed already, used mytharchive for a
quick and dirty DVD.
