What is the best format to "Produce" my movie. I want to import the "Produced" movie into Windows Movie Maker, so I can use the much better DVD Menu Templates that come on Windows Movie Maker, and also "Burn" using Windows Movie Maker. ( Actually, Windows DVD Maker )
I'm looking for the highest quality I can get in the final DVD.
Thanks

It would be a no-brainer to use the WMV format in conjunction with Movie maker.

High-quality is directly proportional to bitrate. No matter what format you use, if there is not enough bitrate it won't look good. Increasing the bitrate improves final quality, in any format.

The built in WMV DVD profiles are already set nicely for creating DVD's and, of all the output formats, these can be tweaked to your preference. Dafydd has tutorials on doing just that.

For example, I created some WMV profiles for uploading to youtube with minimum bitrate that would still yield an HD presentation. I use this for lower quality stuff. You could easily tune settings for your DVD creations and Movie Maker will love using them in WMV format.

Windows movie maker will gladly accept all formats directly except MP4.
MPEG-2 would optimum I feel as AVI would take lot of HDD space and render slowly when you produce the movie. PC specs :

Gskill 32 GB RAM 1800 Mhz
