I'm a novice in this program, and I have to make a presentation about the company this week. All the information I have for now is that it will be projected big on the wall. My question is, what's the usual format I should output it to (avi?), and what's a standard dimensions of the movie? Also, what dpi should I make the imported jpegs? This is all the information I have for now.

do you know on what it will be played ? on a beamer connected to a computer or with a DVD player ?

What are the options for both? The person to ask isn't in yet.

The thing is I'm not sure about the display rate if you use the maximum size for a beamer on a computer.
What I forgot to ask is where do you get your images from DV ?

I'm importing eps and jpeg files.

I would suggest exporting all your images as maximum resolution JPEGS... of a ratio of 720 * 576.. This is standard definition video. Are you on a Mac or PC ?

Have you made DVD's before? Because if you a new to the whole world of projecting (which is fine..) then that is probably your easiest option... If you haven't made DVD's before then either playing through the laptop.. or making a DVD and playing through a DVD player is going to take some talking through...

For now, i'm setting the size at 800x600 as my superviser isn't in until tomorrow.

Can I get a run down on making it a dvd? I'm on a mac using After Effects 6.5 with a dvd burner.

your question is less an AE question as it is a format question. Frankly your client (in house or otherwise) owes the info to you for you to deliver the correct format for the equipment that will be used for the presentation.
but you could out put a lossless QT in D1 format and use iDVD or DVD Studio Pro to make a playable dvd, that will play on a standard dvd set top or a the dvd player that comes with a Mac.

That's what annoys me about this place. Getting info is like pulling teeth here.

go with troubles suggestion of 720 x 576 px. 800x600 isn't a standard anything for video.
