Help! "Incompatible format" while making a NTSC DVD from my short film (in Final Cut) by using compressor, I usually use PAL format.
Hi I am making a NTSC DVD for a festival in US.
The file I made in compressor won't be accepted by DVD Studio Pro which corresponds "incompatible format".
I used following settings in compressor (sending the project from Final Cut)

What do I do wrong?
I also tried to make the file with Frame rate 23 in which the making of file failed in Compressor.
I need to send a good quality format, if this way won't work, how can I do it?
Also want to add that technical issues is not something I am very good at.
Would be wonderful to have ur help...
Thanks /JO
