what would the settings be for DVD?

Depends upon your television standard (NTSC/PAL), and whether you're trying to achieve fullscreen or widescreen (anamorphic or otherwise). It's even more complicated because television pixels are rectangular, unlike computer-monitor pixels, which are square.

Here's a webpage that should leave you nice and confused on the issue:

You'll want to use no compression (or at most, lossless compression) while creating the animation, because as the final step you'll have to convert the video to MPEG-2 format, which is the standard for DVDs.
