If you are referring to while shooting, you will need a good fluid head tripod and even then it takes practice. You may want to utilize a rubber band around your handle to pull with as it will make for smoother movement even still.
If you are referring to post production, you may want to take a look at a free piece of software called deshaker. A guy by the name of John Meyer wrote a script that makes its usage 5,000% easier!
You will need virtualdub as well to make it work correctly.

Just be aware that you cannot open Vegas Pro files (.veg) in the movie studio version. You can, however, open movie studio files in Vegas pro.

Go into your device preview settings and make sure that whatever device you preview your work on is set up correctly in that window.

Is it a trial version? I believe the mpeg encoder is linked to DVDA. What is prohibiting you from downloading DVDA?

Congratulations JR! Hope all is going well for you buddy.

You will want to render using one of the DVD Architect templates so it will not have to render again once you bring it into DVDA. Save your audio seperate from your video (I am unsure if movie studio has ac3 encoders but if not, use PCM for the audio).
Once you get that down you will not regret having both programs as there is no re rendering going on as the files will be compliant and ready to burn. Of course, it will still have to build your disc but that is nominal.

Make sure you have not muted the track(s) that have the main video component on them. It is the little “no smoking” looking sign on the track control panel (left hand side of the timeline).

Can you give us some more details such as your project settings and your render template settings? Also, make sure you do not have your video track(s) muted and that you are not selecting in your render template to only encode audio.

Take a look in the help file under the topic of Ripple edit. Ripple edit has several settings that allow for you to do what you did by just simply removing the media- it will move all remaining items over to cover the gap you just made. There is a button for it right up there with the selection tool button. Make sure you remember to turn it off once you are done or you may wind up with stuff where you don’t really want it. 🙂
You can also select a group of events on the timeline and press the “g” buton on your keyboard to group them together so that you do not have to keep selecting and deselecting items (you can also group individual events on different parts of the timeline if need be).

I don’t know why m2t files are causing that error. How many are you putting on the timeline (the consumer version may have a limit but that sounds unlikely)? What else do you have running and what else is on the timeline?
When you say importing m2t files do you mean capturing via the capture utility that comes with Vegas? Or are they hard drive files that you are simply dragging and dropping over from the cam?
As for an easy way to edit m2t- Vegas comes with a Cineform Avi file option (they are intermediaries). You can go to Cineform and buy a more robust capture utility to capture directly to this format (more disk space when using avi). Or you could go to Vasst.com and take a look at gearshift or Ultimate S pro (US4 pro). Gearshift is included in US4 pro and it will allow you to use dv proxy files to do all your edits on and then switch back (gear shift) to HD files before rendering. Those both have 15 day free, unhindered trials. And if your files are hard drive based- AVCHD, they also make a product called AVCHD Upshift that will convert from AVCHD to M2T files which are easier to edit than AVCHD.
