Filming stage show (LED lighting problems)

Having filmed a good many stage shows I have now experienced a new problem.

Native HDV and AVCHD in Prem Pro 5.5

Any advice please on Mixing Native HDV and AVCHD on timelines for Multi-camera edited in Premiere Pro 5.5.

Could I import both formats, and which pre-sets would work best?

I want to export to DVD.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
