FCP 4.5 to Studio Pro to 24p DVD workflow

Does anyone have a simple workflow for doing this with the different settings for the two programs? I'm pretty sure I'm doing the FCP 4.5 part right, but Studio Pro is giving me trouble.
 
Export to Compressor. Set to 60 min Highest Quality. The fps will be taken care of automatically.
Import generated files into DVD Pro. You can convert .aiff sound file to .ac3 using the A.pack app.
If you export 24fps QT files out of FCP and then import those directly into DVD Pro then it will copnvertthem but will be using 29.97 fps (at least according the the help manual for previous versions of DVD Studio)
 
thanks man. the compressor step was my problem. All i saw was the 24p MPEG-4 compression and that wasn't working. I'll give this a shot. Thanks again.
 
Don't export direct to compressor from FCP - export a reference movie from FCP and take that movie, by hand to compressor and select your MPEG2 preset.
