Format of Files to burn DVD discs

[jevans]

Soryy if this question is very basic. If I create a video file from PTE using the "Video" button, the file type I get if I choose the AVI out put type is of course a *.avi file. IF I choose the DVD video disc output option, I get a *.ptev file. Both these files load into Ulead Movie factory and can be burnt to a DVD disk. What is the difference between the file types and is it important to choose one or the other?

A supplementary question. I use Adobe Audition 1.5 for sound editing. Audition will import the *.avi file produced by PTE and thus additional sound editing can be done e.g. to lower the music level if a slide has an attached speech file. However Audition will not import a *.ptev file. So there must be some difference between the file types.

Thanks for any help anyone can give.

For Ulead (and .ptev) maximize the file format (avi) for this software and so the DVD is better: each software has preferences.

And thanks Igor to propose the better for each software.

Ulead 4 changed certain functions and now PTE 4.41 is adjusted (.ptev) for it.
