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.
