As Tom said, a file for burning a DVD has different workflow.
You need an mpeg2 file or something like .avi or .mov with DV codec for Encore DVD or other authoring app to ingest and burn the DVD. Best codec for DVD is not the best one for delivering via email, as the size would be over 3-4 times bigger. So you have to decide which one will be the best for your needs. If the DVD player reads divx or xvid files, then i can suggest to use the xvid codec to generate a .avi file, which will have similar size than a .mp4 h264 file and will play in this dvd player via usb drive or DVDRom burnt. It will be able to play in a pc with Windows7 too, as W7 installs xvid codec by default, but if i´m not wrong in a Mac you´ll need to manually install the xvid codec.
Just remember, PPro doesn´t make .avi files with xvid codec, so you need to export the video in, let´s say .mov or .avi DV and then open it in any convert app like Canopus Procoder 3, handbrake or similar.
I use Format Factory sometimes, as it´s free and very simple, but has great results encoding with xvid code. (https://www.filehippo.com/es/download_format_factory/)

I think the best format to send via email for viewing purpose mantaining an acceptable quality and universal compatibility is .mp4 h264. If you play with video bitrates you´ll get different file sizes, so set the bitrate depending on the filesize you´re needing. In SD probably a video bitrate between 1.300-2.000 kbps will be enough for a well balanced size and quality file. If the size is bigger than desired, set lower bitrates, but it will loose quality.

Drag one clip from the proyect pannel to the “New element” icon, so Premiere will create a new sequence based on your footage settings.

If you have your settings to autosave every 20 min. you might have the last 20 minutes of your proyect before crashing in the autosave folder.
You can configure how many copies of autosaves to be done, if your settings are in “5” means that when there are 5 autosaved proyects, then the 6th goes to the first position, overwritting the first autosaved proyect, an so on. Take a look at the date of the archives in your browser, your last autosaved proyect before crashing might be there.

You´re right, that´s the way it is. But now you´ll probably have smoother playback of timeline, even with several video tracks like in a multiple picture in picture, and when applying GPU accelerated filters to a clip, you´ll have it playing in real time. You can recognize them for the GPU acceleration icon in these filters.
Don´t forget doing the hack again if you update Premiere, because the cuda supported cards.txt file will be updated too and your graphics card won´t be listed again.
Nevertheless I will consider upgrading to CS6 because, among other things, MPE has been improved and everything runs faster. In addition, your graphics card was certified since CS5.5, so you wouldn´t need to unlock it anymore.

This happened to me running PPro CS5 in MPE GPU acceleration mode with an unlocked GTX460 (non Adobe certificated) graphics card. Updating to CS6 and nvidia drivers solved the problem.

GeGorce gtx570 is not certified by Adobe for PPro CS5, it was certified from CS5.5, so one option is to update to CS5.5 or even CS6.
Anyway you can make your PPro CS5 work with almost all nvidia card in GPU acceleration mode by hacking it. Have a look at this link:
https://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5.htm

To sumarize briefly you have to open the file cuda_supported_cards.txt in Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, and write your card in the first line of the text, exactly the name of your card, so you might write GeForce GTX570. After this you save the file (don´t change the file name by Save as option, just Save). Go to nvidia card settings and select Compatibility mode in the GPU multiple monitor options of Adobe Premiere.exe. Next time you open PPro you´ll have the MPE GPU acceleration mode enabled.
You can see all the procedure to unlock your video card in the next page of the link mentioned, here: https://www.studio1productions.com/Articles/PremiereCS5-2.htm

Yes of course, sorry, you´re right Tom

Also you can use PPro picture in picture presets on the Effects pannel.
