Where is the MPEG2 Coded in FCP 6?

I recently upgraded to FCP 6 and noticed there is no MPEG2 codec to export to DVDSP? I see an MPEG4 but I thought that was for internet and greater compression applications. I attempted to ecport via MPEG4 and am not satisfied with the quality?

Please advise.

Thanks.

You have to use Compressor for MPEG-2 encoding.

That is interesting. I never use to have to use compressor. I could use either quicktime or compressor. Why did they take it out of Quicktime? Is Compressor that much better, faster?

Licensing. They didn't want to pay to have it part of QT pro, but for pro apps users only. Smaller user base than QT pro users.

As I understand it- Compressor is just a GUI control interface built on top of Quicktime. Since QT is the basis for all the video codec oriented apps, it makes sense to me.
