That is more of a question for the audio people, but as long as you know what is the new length of a sound file you are aiming, you can dial in the speed in soundtrack pro or pro tools.
You can even use some high quality audio plug-in for retiming and pitch shifting. The best thing is – it is all non-destructive, you can experiment and preview what you are doing… even consult the performers and hear what they think of it… Don’t bother with science and math behind it…

I used AE just because I needed to resize the image, for just changing the frame rate Cinema Tools will do.

Yes. AE will render new audio as well. But I always use that just as a guide, and give an aiff to the audio people to retime it with some more precise audio tools. You can just barely hear the difference, but it is there…
When properly done audio speed change was only noticeable to the musicians themselves and only when I told them what I have done.

I read the question. This is the first time I hear that some part of the program is more important that the other (video or the sound), both should be taken care with equal importance, if you ask me.
4% sped up audio done properly is much less of a problem than a one frame stutter each second as that is almost unwatchable.
In the end, if the music video is to finish on a DVD it may as well be 24fps. Most of the equipment in Europe will play 24fps DVD just fine.

I had to do 24 -> 25 conversion couple of times. It is very easy if you have Adobe After Effects.
Just import your video, interpret footage as 25fps instead of 24fps, put it in a 25fps composition, resize if necessary and render. The length of rendered movie is your new video duration.
You can even change speed of your audio in soundtrack pro or pro tools in an 25fps timeline to the same duration and everything will be fine when you sync it back in fcp to your newly rendered 25fps video.
Actually, if you don’t need to change the size and aspect ratio of your movie, you could probably just change its frame rate in quicktime pro, that is just “administrative” process in which movie gets new length and playback speed, without introducing that annoying one frame stutter.

Are the ProRes PAL SD timelines upper or lower field? Or can you actually choose field order with ProRes codec?
Uncompressed timelines are upper field in PAL and DV is lower field and that makes it extremely confusing when using dv footage in uncompressed timeline, so I am interested if ProRes can help us overcome this inconvenience?

I belive toast 7 can burn one large file over multiple disks. That might be easiest solution for your problem.

It seems that with some type of discs FCP considers superdrive as one of the media drives capable of capturing and playing back video and therefore it checks its RT capabilities wich ends in kernel panic. Best solution to the problem is simply removing any disks from superdrive during FCP launching…

Same here, but not with every kind of dvd disk. It deppends on formating of dvd/cd itself. We figured out the whole thing got something to do with “RT profiling” during FCP boot.
