I am wondering if you have figured this problem out. I am having the exact same issue. I was recently told to render out from FCP to Quicktime and then bring the large Quicktime file into Compressor and see if that helps, but according to you it doesn’t.

Like you the video looks fine in timeline, but after I have to adjust the settings to allow it to fit on a standard DVD in Compressor it looks awful. If you get an answer on this issue please let me know. Otherwise I think the only solution is to break the file into 2 disc like someone suggested above.
