use that default setting (720x576 25fps)because it is the standard DVD format for PAL. the only thing you need to customize/change is the bitrate if you want to balance the quality of the video against the total video you can fit on a disc. However, low quality videos will not increase its quality by setting the bitrate high. I suggest you capture the video using the format template that best suites your needs.
