FCP - right tool for this job?

Looks like I may get my first gig that may earn some $$.  Local sensei 
at the Karate studio here has bought a Sony Digital 8 camcorder, and we 
figure that we can set up his camcorder and my DVCam on tripods and 
have both cameras tape him while he goes through the whole set of 
katas.  I figure merging different shots from different angles may well 
tax the meager abilities of iMovie and iDVD.  Especially if he later 
comes in to dub audio voiceover explaining the different moves, and 
perhaps even running some footage in slow motion.

So I'm thinking that since I can get FCP at the Education price of 
$300, I should just go ahead and take the plunge and dive in to the 
project with both feet.  My hardware should easily support the software 
- - Dual 867 w/ Combo and Superdrive.  Will I be able to put such a 
project together and burn it to a DVD using iDVD, or will I need to get 
DVD Studio Pro or Cleaner 6 (another $200!) to write in a variety of 
other formats?  Or could I get by with the mpeg2 add-on for QT6?

Suggestions anyone, though I'm sure Erica would be happy to sell me a 
book on how to manage this with what I have - in which case I can just 
look forward to getting an iPod for myself :-)

Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they aren't out to get you...
