Please provide version numbers with your post if you want people to help you. Secondly, I find exporting to Compressor straight outta FCP is much more time consuming (actually slower processing). What I normally do is set and IN and OUT point on the timeline on my sequence, export “File>Export quicktime movie” DON’T make it self-contained, export video only (this should be very quick as it simply generates a separate reference file), no audio; also use “current settings” so no video conversion occurs, i.e. if you’re editing NTSC DV it goes to NTSC DV. Then take that file and put that into Compressor with a DVD compress preset to encode into MPEG-2. Also I would export “File>Audio to AIFF” and then use Apack to encode to AAC or use Compressor – and this is where the version numbers come in – if you have Compressor 2.0.1 it does it all: video and audio conversion. Hope this helps.
