"kino" appears appears to do exactly what you need... retrieve movies
from DV cameras via firewire, do some basic editing, then save it in DVD
format.

I also just discovered two very nice/promising video editing
applications for Gnome today, "diva" and "pititv", but it looks like
they won't be ready/mature enough before at least 6 months, whereas Kino
looks quite nice/usable at present.
Haven't actually used it since I don't have the spare dosh for a digital
video camera sadly...
