Since I'm in the dark not having DVD Maker don't know what it's output
options are. If you live in the North America then look for a NTSC
template or choice to output to MPEG-2. If you live elsewhere look for
a DVD PAL option. Ideal if the option says the format is DV so there
will be very little loss in quality even if re-edited. AVI-DV files
are way larger and huge and only practical if you plan on recording
back to DV tape for your digital camera or deck. Otherwise most CODECS
will render either DV MPEG or DV AVI at a equal quality level.
