I'm not sure what you're talking about. I took segmented VIDEO_TS 
(MPEG2 encoded Transport Stream) data into iMovie, and I'm taking an 
iMovie project file/folder/data (multiple files/file formats) directly 
to iDVD by clicking the 'Create iDVD project' from the iMovie's iDVD 
pane. iDVD creates an iDVD project file when you click the 'Create iDVD 
project' button.

iDVD will not open any .dv files. It will only open iDVD project 
folders (.dvdproj extension). I tried using iDVD to open the DV output 
from iMovie (which I created using iMovie's share function), the .dv 
file remains grayed out in the iDVD file open dialog.
