DVD uses mpeg so if you pick avi it will need be converted before burning, which will take longer.

MPEG-2 Files have the least compression and are best to be burnt to DVD. However AVI files are more portable and can be considerably smaller without comprimising quality.
For what you are doing, i would say MPG-2
