DSP making menu 'washed-out' on encode

Sorry to jump in.. usual thing.. deadline etc
I've created a motion menu in FCP5 with miniDV footage and max quality JPGs. Exported self-contained QT at full quality DV and dropped into my DSP menu window. Prefs set for encode on build. It looks and plays as it should. I add DSP created text buttons. Still plays/looks OK.
On build however, DSP changes the look of the menu completely (whether viewed on mac, DVD or TV), i.e. it completely 'washes out' the image. Really yucky.
I've checked archives and there are some suggested workarounds but I need to stick with DSP created text buttons for now, which rules out using Compressor right? Because I would effectively be encoding twice?
So what are my options? I've tried significantly darkening the footage in FCP first to compensate for the later DSP caused 'washing out' and this has made a slight improvement but not enough.
Perhaps someone has some FCP colour correction setting which would compensate for the 'damage' that DSP does subsequently?
And finally, surely this is a fault with DSP and shouldn't happen at all?
