Exporting Film From FCP To Use ON 5th Gen iPod

Hi....

Has anyone figured out yet how we are able to export home movies from Final Cut Pro to use on the new iPod. I did try it by recompressing it to a Quicktime file and re adjusting the size to fit the iPod screen, but it wanted about 13 hours for this to export. This was only a section of the film that i wanted to export, the whole film only took about 2 hours to export first time round for dvd, so i cant understand what i'm doing wrong.

Can anybody help me?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Oliver

It will take longer to export for iPod because it has to do a lot more compressing and has to resize it for the iPod.
