Is the only way to remotely start the movie mode for the 7D to use the IR remote RC-1 or RC-5? It appears that the wired shutter release (RS-80N3) has no effect for the movie mode. Are there any work around settings?

Nope, RC-X seems to be the only way at the moment. Which is very annoying.

I haven't tried, but since it's possible to take a still image in the middle of shooting a video, I assume that's what the TC-80N3 remote will do?

The RC-1 and RC-6 will start and stop video record on the 60D, 7D, and 5D Mk II using the "2S" button. The "S" button will take a still during video. I assume the RC-5 will only start/stop video since it only has the 2 second delay button.

Or tie into the different IR remotes so they can be triggered by radio sets (PW), which in turn send the IR signals to the 5D MKII or the 7D. Theses are items CP1006, and CP1101 on my site in the Custom Projects (external link) section, here are the images:
