Why Premiere?
Good as it is, you are editing SD in essence.
I see potential quality loss in converting an highly compressed Mpeg4 ( albeit HD) format to DV AVI.. and then reeencoding this to mpeg2 for DVD.. just a thought
I personally think there is more to video editing than Premiere (IMHO) and, who knows,( Even Premiere Elements is limited in its support) There may however well be an AVCHD capable plug in for Premiere in the pipeline
However for $30, Marks linked software seems pretty decent and may be all you need
