Highest Performance H.264 -> DVD solution

Hey guys,

I'm going to be doing a lot of filming with a camcorder that saves the videos to SD cards, all of these videos are going to be h.264. I'd like to convert these to a DVD (menu/no menu doesn't matter) as quickly as a possible. I have access to both OS X and Windows 7 based computers so I'm platform agnostic. I'm also not opposed to buying a piece of hardware (although all the computers are laptops) if it will cut my times down significantly.

TIA
 
it is for football tournaments, we have a DVD Replicator but want to quickly take the film from cameras outputting h.264 on SD cards and author the master DVD to burn. The Mac's are mostly C2D's and an i5, and I have a few i7 boxes.
 
The Film machine (freeware)
VSO ConvertxtoDVD (payware)

Take your pick.

TFM makes excellent DVDs, but no menus (at least that's how it was last time I looked at it). *update* it looks like it does menus, too, now.

VSO is pretty much idiot-proof, and does not require anything else installed on your machine, but you have to pay for it.


Like someone else already said, it's the editing that usually takes time. If you're not worried about that, the transcoding should take very little time.
