I have a HDR-FX7 camcorder and I am going to be filming sporting events. I want to be able to record it live to my MBP, and then create a dvd which I could put into a duplicator. I want to be able to sell the dvds right after the game so speed is a major issue. Currently I can live record it through Final Cut Pro, but the time it takes to export the footage is way too slow. Does somebody know better software or a faster way?

The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.
Therefore to clarify:
- You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
- This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
- You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
- You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

The camcorder produces DV which is converted into DVD format (VOB) by Final Cut. Yep, that takes (a lot of) time. As far as I know, only dedicated, expensive hardware can convert to DVD quickly/directly.
Alternatively, a DVD camcorder could be of help. Take a look at Camcorders Configurator
