Question on Formats

I know this is probably a very stupid question but here we go...
I live in PAL land and I've spent a few months shooting a doco in NTSC land. Now I would like to cut a rough version to send on a DVD to some people I worked with over there. So, once is all ready in FCP, how can I convert the stuff to NTSC ? can it be done in FCP? what would be the procedure? do I need to use another program, AE, Compressor? the footage is 25fps progressive, would this be a problem once converted to NTSC? sorry if this is too much of a stupid question but I've never delivered to NTSC land so there we go... Ladies and gentelmen, thanks in advance and keep on the good work.
 
This would be done in compressor. There are some presets for the conversion, but if you use the search function, you'll come up with a few threads that have some good settings.

Compressor does a pretty good job. The quality loss isn't that big.
