QT export footage has extreme artifacts after upgrade to mavericks.

I upgraded operating system to Mavericks, since then all footage I export from FCP as a QT movie has artifacts. I'm using FC 6.0.6. I have the settings optimized for download in the settings options ad data rate at 3000. I have been exporting like this for years with footage looking same as in FCP timeline. Any ideas...I heard a suggestion that Mavericks doesn't work with older programs..... I only downloaded the **** thing so I could run Da Vinci Light, it screwed up my mail system too.

the ideal way to work, IMHO, is to export from fcp using file: export: quicktime movie (NOT quicktime conversion) with current settings and then use compressor to do the conversion. You have a lot more control of settings in compressor and you can customize and save presets. Here's a user tip about using compressor
