Camera settings & FCE settings

Question

I shoot with a Canon XHA1 I am trying to determine the most compatible settings between the camera and FCE for creating the highest quality DVD.
The camera setting options are: Frame rates of 60i, 30F, 24F; comp out of 480i or 1080i/480i.
My other camera is a Canon EOS 5D MK2 it's options are; 1920x1080 or 640x480.
My shooting subjects are wildlife. I also include many still shots in my dvd's, some with the Ken Burns effect. What resolution and format is best for the pictures? The EOS 5D will shoot most still formats including RAW at up to 21 mega pixels. What might be the suggested work flow for the stills?
FCE has numerous options, most of which I know nothing about, in the File/Easy Setup menu. For HDV I would assume that only the last three are applicable but if that is so which one?
Again my end result is to export to dvd. All suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I use the same camera, did they ever tell you what to set it at for wildlife? 60i 30f 24f? I * which ones I have it set at but still can't figure out to put it at 60i or 24F? I want the closest to 1080P but am still confused .
