I think we're saying much the same thing here -- that there's no way to
control how Quicktime interprets video levels, and it is often wrong
when dealing with Avid codecs, treating them as full swing, even if they
are studio swing. But if Avid is doing nothing to compensate when
exporting a ProRes quicktime, it's difficult to explain the results I
described in my last post wrt DVD encoding.

You're right, there's no such setting in Compressor. Unfortunately, I
had to give up on Squeeze -- I couldn't get it make a clean 23.98 DVD
(ie by setting repeat-frame flags) without crashing with some obscure
error, and their documentation is atrocious. (My problem was on Mac --
maybe it works better on the PC side?)
