dvcpro hd 1080i/50 in fcp, format & workflow

hi, i'm new to dvcpro hd format and to fcp.

I'm working in fcp 5.0.4 and I've imported my mxf media from a p2 hard disk from panasonic. The format is dvcpro hd 1080i/50, 1440x1080 (anamorfic).

My media looks all fine, but editing it in a project and sequence set to use dvcpro hd 1080i/50 compression, it looks in the wrong format: smaller size and 2 black bars in each size.
Editing it in a new project and sequence set to use no kind of compression, it looks totally fine, but as the media uses this compression (even if I captured it again), it means I would have to render it.

Can somebody explain me why is it happening and what's the best solution?

Also, I would like to know what's the best way to finish the project. There's no online and a part of ending on tape I need a qt. From mxf to finish in a qt with dvcpro hd is the best solution?

thanks a lot!!
