Yes , compressor will do a much better job at scaling.
You’ll certainly NOT want to be doing ANY interlacing!!
All progressive scan capable DVD players include interlaced outputs, make sure the DVD player is not forced to output Progressive only.

Is there a specific reason you need to letterbox to 720×480?
I think you’ll find that if you go directly to compressor without the Quicktime step, which, if you’re working on the same Mac is totally unnecessary, it’ll do the trick for you.
The compressor user manual has all the information you need on producing a 480p 16×9 anamorphic file.

1080psf (progressive segmented frame) is interlaced only in storage and transmission, it should be treated as progressive so 1080p not 1080i.

What are your compressor settings in detail?

What kind of MPEG files?
MPEG-1, MPEG-2 I-Frame only MPEG-2, MPEG-4 etc?
At the end of the day you will need to demux MPEG files, that’s to say, separate the video from the audio into two separate files. MPEG Streamclip should do this easily for you
https://www.squared5.com/
You can then bring these directly into FCP. However you’ll likely still need to render to your sequence settings of DV PAL at some point, either in Streamclip or FCP.Play around with the various output options of Streamclip to minimise rendering. All alter you sequence setting to match the output of Steamclip.

Yes and no.
Officially MPEG-4 video only goes with MPEG-4 audio like AAC and AMR. You could use AMR but the sound quality is pretty low as it’s designed for delivery to mobile handsets.
However DivX (and Xvid and 3ivx) uses MPEG-4 video with MP3 and wraps it up in an AVI container. That’s pretty much your only option if this site really doesn’t accept AAC.
I don’t think you can create DivX with Squeeze though.
Obviously the site you upload to needs to update the formats it supports, whoever wrote the spec for files needs educating.

Sadly, cleaner xl is terribly out of date and rather slow.
IMO, Procoder from Grass Valley is one of the best alternatives out there. Very fast with high quality output. It’s almost as easy to use as Squeeze but gives access to advanced features and settings, not available in Squeeze, should you want to get your hands ‘dirty’.

However if all you’ll ever compress for is youtube then you might just want to try Riva and Flix Pro

Yeah, right;
Sorry Steve but your post makes no sense, Apple can’t ‘vacate’ a space they don’t own, did you mean ‘inhabit’ the space that Avid gave up!?
Why does Apple still not appear on the exhibitors list?

Agreed, documentation on XML profiles is limited but the Flash video encoder does not support either Alpha channels or VBR encoding methods.
p.s. your link to Adobe is garbled.
