Creating a specific HD MPEG2 file

I'm having trouble figuring out how to create the following file for a client:

- All files must be delivered as elementary stream.
- Codec: MPEG2 ... Frame Size: 1920x1080 ... OAR: from 1.78:1 up to 2.35:1
... Frame rate: 50i ... Stream Type: MPEG2 Video Stream (Main Profile @ High Level)
... Field Dominance: Upper Field First .... Bit rate: not less than 50 Mbit/s CBR
... Chroma Format: 4:2:2

Certain specs I can find/create separately but not all together ... for example, trying to get 50Mbit/s CBR, I can only seem to find 40 at the most.

Now, the source files I'm using are as follows:
- Apple Pro Res, 25fps, 1440x1080, 48k 16bit
- Apple Pro Res, 25fps, 720x576 (16:9), 48k 24 bit
Do these need to be converted to 1920x1080 50fps before sending to Compressor or other software?

Files for client have to be MPEG2 ... cannot send them a .mov file

Using FCP 7.0.3 and Compressor 3.5.3

I deal more with dubbing and basic editing, so I'm not as well versed when it comes to digital conversions and codecs. Any suggestions would help ... thanks!

If you need to make 1920x1080 files, you should also know that the aspect ratio for that resolution is ALWAYS 1.78:1. You'll need to fake the 2.35:1 look through letterboxing.

Raphael's right about that Telestream Episode Pro product.
