Yes, do not output to quicktime, and thne mpeg2, what i always do is, directly from final cut pro, is export the sequence using compressor, and on the settings, click on dvd fastest encode, or best quality, whatever your choice, and walah, theres a clean mp2 file for you. so yeah just skip the quick time process, try it, if im wrong please let me know, but all my videos come out excellent that way,
hope this was of some use, let me know what the results were
