PAL export to DVD???
Howdy folks,
I’ve never done this but I need to export and create PAL DVD and I’m wondering about the process. I noticed in FCP 4.5 I can output a QT Conversion to DV – PAL. Can I then take that and toss it into Compressor and then into DVD SP 3 and create a PAL DVD? Do I have to set the compression for PAL (there’s an MPEG-4 preset for PAL Source, but nothing in the MPEG-2 list) and then do I have to do anything in DVD SP to create a PAL disc?
Thanks a ton!

I think the latest version of compressor does a conversion but I haven
