It *should* work, though.  I have a different experience to you,  
Verdi.  I love iPod Export - It works for me, unless the settings get  
screwed like I described before.  I've often found that, if  
everything else is in order, iPod export gives a better quality and  
faster export than almost anything else, with a file size of around  
10-15MB per minute, and it almost always exports at the right Aspect  
Ratio.

Hey JD - for some reason FCP has been borked like this back to version
4.5 or whenever they came up with the ipod presets. What I do is
export a full resolution copy from FCP and open that in QuickTime pro
and then compress from there. QuickTime pro gets it right. Doesn't
make sense but that's the way it is.
