I thought it was impossible to print photojpeg to tape from FCP, but I 
could be wrong. I think that when you save as a photjpeg file that you 
are saving each frame as a separate jpeg image, right? which creates a 
humongous size file in one folder. I hope this helps a bit - I've got 
to review FCP and DVDSP options before I can say more.
