Yes, you need FCP 3 to edit in X/ Jaguar, and yes, if you upgrade to 
Jaguar you will have QT 6, but there are no functions in QT 6 (or QT 
Pro 6) necessary for editing in FCP 3.

Correct, I meant to write MPG-2, not JPG-2, early morning brain fart.
You can "see" MPG-2 files in QT as long as a compatible codec was used. 
What DVD Studio Pro adds to QT 6 is the ability to export MPG-2 files 
from QT (without using DVD SP). iDVD converts DV files to the MPG-2 
format so they can be burned to a DVD, QT should be able to export 
MPG-2 files without spending $1000 for DVD Studio Pro.
