iDVD can handle mpeg2?

TiVo is "nearly" mpeg-2 and not 100% compatible.  Plus there needs to be a 
way to get it from the TiVo to the Mac.  I'm using a Plextor ConvertX PVR 
with EyeTV to import from TiVo.  It doesn't have all of the features of 
iMovie, but working with mpeg-2 is so much faster.

Editing TiVo files also leads to sync problems where audio/video no longer 
macth up.
