archiving DV w/iMovie 3 and iDVD 3

[Ray Zimmerman]

I'd like to dump a bunch of unedited DV tapes to DVD. I like the way 
iMovie imports the tape into separate clips and would like to 
automatically generate a DVD menu (and/or chapters) which correspond 
to the individual clips. It would be great to have the timestamp and 
clip length as a part of the chapter name/menu title. A menu 
consisting of thumbnails (like the Clips panel in iMovie) would also 
be wonderful.

Basically, I'm looking for an automated (or nearly so) way to put all 
my unedited video on DVD in a way that I can quickly see what's on 
each tape.

Can this be done with iMovie and iDVD?  Maybe with some 
Applescripting? Or is there some other software that would help for 
this?

( I can't be the only one who's ever wanted to do this, right? )
