So I have done what are the protocalls that are appropriate for DVD PRO and the problem now is that I cannot drag my compressor file into DVD PRO.
It just bounces back to Finder or where ever else I find it. I give up don't know what to do now I am stuck. Thanks for everyones help. Also I still get the
incompatible format pop up-I am totally against a wall-do not know what to do at all.

Describe your workflow from the beginning, what format are you using in FCP , how and what did you export from FCP, what DVD setting did you use in Compressor, are you working with PAL or NTSC.etc

I captured from mini-dv tape so I used dv 48khz or dv ntsc for my setup codec. I used send to in FCP to compressor. I used best quality DVD 90 minutes in Compressor. I am working with NTSC. I imported my compressed project clicking on asset. When I did this I get a box that pops up and says incompatible format.
Problem is I have no idea how to get a compatible format or what they are talking about since I followed the
correct protocol or at least it seemed correct to me. I know it is something I am missing-I just do not have the
knowledge to trouble shoot this particular problem. So that is where it stands of this moment.
Two things, are you sure you are trying to import the correct files (there should be two, M2V and AC3) video and audio. Secondly make sure your project is set to NTSC and not PAL, although I think the message would tell you this. Also as an experiment you could export a quicktime movie from FCP and then bring this into DVD SP and see if that works.

Thanks David. I am for sure in NTSC standard. I am importing video only to DVD PRO for some reason I am not
getting audio. I compressed both audio and video. I only got the video to play through the whole video once and
the rest of the times I try to play it I only get the main title. I am really confused. Sometimes I am getting an incompatible format notice and sometimes not and when I don't get that notice I am only getting video from the compressor file I am importing as an asset into DVD PRO. Good thing I am not on a deadline for this project.
In Compressor, are you dragging the whole DVD best quality 90min folder to the top window or are you opening the folder and dragging the mpeg two part only.
Try the second part of my post (export quicktime movie) and then have a look at this to make a simple DVD

So now I am getting the incompatible format pop up window when I try to import asset into DVD PRO. Once I get to the point of building the DVD can I author it to just hit play to start the video and stop to stop the video? But the main problem now is this incompatible format pop up window. ????????????
I just tried bringing in a MPEG 4 video and audio and it worked-DVD PRO accepted it. Now just to get the DVD 90 min best quality codec to work???????
Went through setup for DVD PRO still not working
