I personally like to Export out my movie and then compress it in Compressor because it is a lot faster that way.To do it I go to File, Export, Quick Time movie. Make sure it is marked as self contained.
I think if you use the best setting in compressor you will be very happy with the quality. If not you can always increase it. Hope this helps and best of luck.
