wonky framerate conversions

hey everyone!
i am now officially confused. I am trying to use compressor to change the framerate of a number of clips, and am using the animation codec. however, the clips produced have strange framerates of 5.72, no matter what i do. in the "animation" settings i stipulate many different framerates (30, 29.97, etc) and sometime i enable rate conversion, and sometimes not. but no matter what i do, i can get it to come out as a standard framerate that i can edit in fcp. however, when i use the uncompressed 8-bit codec it works fine. what gives?
thanks!

I have a project that was shot in PAL mini DV, that needs to be edited in FCP and output as Quicktime-NTSC. I have done the conversion but there seems to have been trouble with the frame-rate conversion. I've tried every possible configuration in my Final Cut preferences...is there something I should know besides just changing all the NTSC presets to PAL? I am using a Powermac G5 with FCP HD 4.5.

Also, I'm having considerable trouble just getting the tapes to capture without stopping. FCP seems to be having trouble reading the tapes, although other editors have worked on this project previously, without problems. Any suggestions?

The current version (5.1.x) includes new pre-sets in compressor for standards conversion (NTSC to PAL, for example). They work beautifully.
