you can probably add AVIs, but Architect may not be the best at encoding these. And you are going through another encode that way.
I really dont understand how you are trying to make a video in Architect by adding text. You can only add text to menus.
I think you are maybe getting in a bit over your head with this. It is in your best interest to go through all the help and tutorial files in the Architect help menu, and also search the web for tutorials, info and guides. videohelp, afterdawn and doom9 are good places to start.
To break it down, here is a quick guide to DVD authoring
-render all videos (features, and menu backgrounds) for DVD as DVD-ready mpeg elementary streams (video: .m2v, audio: .ac3).
-add these files to your DVD project. Build your menus in the DVD authoring program. Here you can add your background videos to menus, and add buttons for linking. Some software lets you add a bit of text info to the menu also.
-build your DVD. after you have added all your feature videos, made some menus to link to these videos, export it to DVD files. The result should be a directory with at least a VIDEO_TS folder containing your DVD-ready files
-this folder can be played in a media player like mediaplayer classic to check to make sure everything came out OK.
-if it all looks good, then burn to disc using Nero or ImgBurn
