export 1080i for the web

What is the best way to export 1080i footage to be used for the internet.
Also, another issue I am having is my 720, 24p footage looks a little over saturated After exporting.
Thanks for your help

For 1080i for internet, I'd de-interlace then scale it down in FCP. If you see any aliasing / edgyness, do a very small gaussian blur before the downscale to help it.

Darker images tend to look more saturated, so if you're monitoring in FCP and watching elsewhere with a different gamma, you may notice the slight darkening as a boost of saturation.

I usually deinterlace, crop and scale in Compressor.
