I just completed a FCP Studio project that is 1280x720p it will be burned to a SD DVD . My question is what would be the best settings to use in Compressor to export this project so it could be viewed 16x9 on a SD DVD? Do I send it to Compressor from FCP Studio or should I export a QuickTime File using the current setting and then bring it into Compressor?

Export a self contained file. Bring that into Compressor...use the BEST QUALITY DVD presets. And in DVD SP, in the inspector have it set for 16:9 and Letterbox. This way the DVD player will detect if it's feeding an HD monitoror SD TV and display it appropriately
Thank you.... One other question This most likely will be played on DVD Players and computers. Deinterlace or not? Field dominance Upper Lower or None?
Field dominance...leave that alone.
If it's interlaced, DVD players out to TVs will show it properly. Computers...unsure. Might do a test of a small section to see.
Great Thanks
