Use Compressor and make them into MPEG-2s with the DVD presets.

> just in this pots [sic] [www.lafcpug.org] is recomended to use the QT self contained file directly to DVD SP.
Using a QuickTime movie from FCP to encode means fewer steps, not better.
> what's best to send to compressor from FCP or from the QT self contained file ?
You already have a QuickTime movie. Use that.
If you read the FAQ, you'll see that Larry Jordan addressed this issue:
==============
DVD Studio Pro
If you want to create a DVD using DVD Studio Pro, you now have two additional choices:
1. Compress the Quicktime movie in DVD Studio Pro
2. Compress the Quicktime movie in Compressor.
Here is how you decide where to encode your video
1. If it is short and you don't need to compress or adjust the audio, compress it in DVD Studio Pro.
2. If it is longer than, say, 30 minutes, or you want to compress the audio into AC3, or you want to make some final audio level adjustments, compress it using compressor.
To compress the file in Compressor, DON'T use "Export to Compressor" in FCP -- it doesn't work reliably. Instead, open Compressor, then drag the file into Compressor and adjust settings.
===============================
He made this recommendation because if the project is very short, making an MPEG-2 will result in more files to keep track of, and more storage requirements. However, notice that he doesn't say that it's worse. Compressor will always give more options and generate more controllable results than sticking a self-contained QuickTime movie right into DVD Studio Pro. Plus, it gives much more flexibility. For example, if DVD Studio Pro stops working on your station, you can copy an MPEG-2 to another computer easily and burn the DVD there.
