Thanks Don!
The second option, draging self contained .mov file into Compressor, remedied the problem.
However, I encoded using “DVD: Fastest encode 90 min -16:9, MPEG2, 6.2Mbps, 1 pass 16:9; wasn’t able to find “one pass CBR setting with a constant bit rate of 6.5. w/ motion estimation at best quality” dialogue box.
