How do I convert from PAL to NTSC in compressor?

I have a project I converted from mp4 file to Apple Pro Res to edit it in FCP. I exported using Compressor and tried to import the files to DVD Studio Pro. It said it can't put PAL files into an NTSC project. I didn't even realize it was filmed in PAL (yes, I have the rights to use the footage). How do I convert the files from PAL to put it into FCP...in Compressor? If so, how? Thanks for any help!

Final Cut Pro 6, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

If you require full featured menus, you will need a separate authoring application – say Roxio Toast, Adobe Encore, or the discontinued iDVD (which is still available from on-line retailers as part of the boxed iLife suite. If you can get by with basic menus, use the Compressor built-in Create DVD preset and skip the separate authoring software. (Note: if you get iDVD, just output a self contained QuickTime file and let iDVD do the encoding and authoring; it will not work with the MPEG-2 format.
