PLEASE HELP!! Compressor or DVDSP problem

I am trying to finish my DVD project and cannot get around this problem.
I bring my timeline in from FCP.
I add my MPEG2 and Dolby settings.
I compress it and import it into DVDSP.
The audio comes in fine, but I get the following error message for the M2V file:
"NTSC assets cannot be imported into PAL projects."
So when I go back to Compressor and change the format from Auto to PAL and then recompress and import to DVDSP. The clip comes in and I add it to my menu, but there is no preview of it on the menu symbol in the Graphical window. There is also no preview in the end point of the Menu Inspector and when I play the background in the Menu viewer, it plays the first second and then freezes (The audio continues to play).
This is happening to every clip I try to import. I have creted new timelines for the edits in FCP, new droplets in Compressor, new projects in DVDSP. I have shut down, restarted and even uninstalled all the FCP studio and reinstalled it! All to no avail.
My settings in Compressor are the following:

Hope someone can help??
Thanks in advance

In answer to my own problem and for anyone else's future reference -
having flip4mac or Divx can corrupt the codec is compressor and corrupt your M2v files when you bring them into DVDSP.
You can go into your Quicktime Folder in your HD Library and remove the Flip4mac and/or Divx components (But keep them somewhere else if you intend to use these software applications again).
