Setting my system in order to get better results in burning the SD AND HD

I need help with setting my system in order to get better results in burning the SD AND HD DVDs
here are my system details:
Camera : SONY HVRZ5U
COMPUTER SYSTEM: MAC PRO 10.6.6
SOFTWARE: FINAL CUT PRO 7
Question #2:
My camera has a built in Firewire output, do I need a AJA capture card for my Mac PRO?

I have a Z7u, Mac Pro running 10.6.5, FCP 6.0.6
You can capture HDV via Firewire. Make your preset HDV and edit in that timeline. But I would set the RENDER as Pro Res.
I have an AJA IoHD so I capture as Pro Res. Probably a better way to go, but certainly not necessary if you don't have a dedicated capture card.
After editing I take the resultant exported edited,self-contained .mov into compressor to make the mpeg2 and ac3 to take into DVDSP. These are SD DVD's. They come out just fine.
What don't you like about your results?
