I'm a bit puzzled by the idea that "Premiere is not too friendly with mpegs". My HD cameras make 1920x1080 TOD files which are imported into the computer and converted by manufacturer-provided software into mpeg2. Then I do all my work in a Premiere project set to 1920x1080. The only other file type I use are Digital Juice mov files - my timelines are a mix of only mov and mpg2 files.
When done editing and ready to make a DVD I go to Export > Adobe Media Encoder, and set the Format drop-down to MPEG2 Blu-Ray and the Preset drop-down to HDTV 1080i 29.97 High Quality. This makes a set of files for each timeline sequence. Then I import those files into Encore to make the menus and backgrounds and use Encore to write to DVD (not Blu-Ray at this point, I don't have a blu-ray drive) in the DVD widescreen format. I don't know the actual resolution written to DVD but the quality is much better than standard DVD and there are no frozen frames or those kind of problems. Also, you say "it seems difficult to edit them at the timeline" - in what way are they "difficult"?
