Chances are you're going File->Save As. In video editing software packages, this will save the project you're working on (the files locations of the videos you're using, the cut points, plus any extra effects you've added), but not the actual video itself. For that, you will need to use an Export or Render option (may be called something different in the Roxio software, but it should be in the File menu). That should allow you to export and encode the video where and how you want. It should allow you to choose from avi, mpg, wmv and more, at a variety of compression levels; choose the one that is best suited to your task.
