Just kept experimenting- The Tominator put me onto a good lead. Here's what I found to work.
I used MPEGStreamclip. Loaded up the video and then went to the Demux option in the File menu where I had several options. I chose to export as Demux to Headed M2V and AIFF.
It exported very, very quickly because it did not have to reencode the mpg part. I dropped the M2V file into Final Cut Express where it imported both the video in widescreen along with the audio portion. Files are small unlike DV and it was much, much quicker. I'm a happy camper. Now if I can just get past the learning curve of Final Cut Express
