Saved movie in negative/wrong colors

My edited 40-minute video plays normally on the storyboard, but when I save
it to a WMV movie file, something happens in the compression so that the
colors are all wrong, like their color wheel opposites. Looks like a color
negative image. Help?!

I'm saving it now as a DV-AVI file to see if the same thing happens, but
that will be too big (9GB) to fit on a DVD. Best options for compression and
DVD playback?

===========================================
DV-AVI is best If you are burning a Video DVD.
The file size is not the issue when burning a Video
DVD. Typically a 4.7GB dvd blank will hold up to
one hour of high quailty video and that would be
approximately 13GB.
