How big should my 'canvas' be to be on TV?

I need to put an animation onto a DVD and don't know how big my workspace has to be so that it looks correct (not all pixellated).

How big does it need to be?

Thanx

(i need an answer quite urgently)

is this for your nicktoons entry?
you could probably go for hi-def tv resolution, 1280x768.
id imagine that nickelodeon would be able to broadcast most resolutions, as long as they are not too small (nothing below 600x480)

is nothing stated in the rules about accepted video size?

just checked the rules :
Digital: Quicktime, uncompressed, with a video size of 720x486 pixels, Mac formatted, is preferred. Playable DVDs must be Region 1, Region 0, or All Region

hope that helps

if you can create a playable dvd with some editing software, that should be ok.
otherwise render all your moho files into quicktime

also try googling for avi to .mov convertor/conversion
must be some program that does it
