your output from fcp should just be 'current' settings
BUT
if you are making a chunky movie it won't fit on your dvd
BUT
i would reduce the file size thru conversion in compressor
they say it is a better conversion than fcp
it is sort of something you will have to play with to see what works best
file size wise
if the film is just a short you shouldn't run into much of a problem
and can just use your current settings output
