Compressor Question

Dear comrades,
I am working in a project for a web site where I have to deliver 30 video clips as MPEGs with a duration of less than a minute each.
I have been using VisualHub, an excellent conversion program, but that unfortunately has been discontinued.
I am still using it, but now I want to explore with Compressor.
My question is related to the size of the clips I produce with VisualHub, I have the choice to make the clips at 640x480 and I get very decent clips at a range of 9.5Mb, they download fast and easy to be viewed in the server where they are uploaded by the webmaster.
I need to use Compressor to create files at 640x480 but all the size options are grayed out and I can't modify the size from the default 320x240.
Is it possible to create such a size in Compressor?
Has anyone heard of DV Kitchen?
Thank you in advance for any information on how to create them in Compressor.
I am using FCS2 and I export .mov files that I bring into VisualHub and convert to MPEG.

Thank you!!!

Thank you Travis.
Will check it out and try it.
I am just getting ready for when VisualHub is no longer operational in my system...

There is a review of DV Kitchen on the lafcpug homepage.

For export from FCP to Compressor to the Web (H.264)

Ken,
Thanks a million for the link.
I will explore all the suggestions in your article and experiment with all the options to get the good quality clips up and running.
Also I will be able to edit the clips sizes to obtain those I have successfully obtained with VisualHub (R.I.P)

Thank you
