On average your looking at about 13G per hour

It is hard to say but most likely you might get a small advantage if you move the source files to a different HD than the rendered output
You most definitely get a very noticeable difference in render speed if the source and target are on different drives.
It is always advisable for different locations when working with video. In todays day and age of relatively fast machines, drives and related hardware, this has become one fo the benefits of multi-drive systems.
With the advent of SATA II drives and interfaces, this increase in speed has become even more noticeable.

The real ideal scenario is the following (for space purposes)
1 x drive for software – Vegas etc (your 80Gb) (C Drive)
1 x drive for footage – 100+ gb drive
1 x drive for render – 100+ gb driveYou can use just the setup you have with your footage on the C drive and render to your 250 gig – not the ideal scenario since not only does footage take up LARGE amounts of space, but you ideally don’t want footage on your software drive. You do get faster renders if your source and destination are on different drives.

Is there any other footage on the timeline?
What happens if you select only the footage you want to render and choose “render loop region only”?
What are the bit rate settings you want to render as?

In short – brilliantly.
Its a question of dropping the QT file on the timeline. Just remember that the quality of the QT movie will have a bearing on your final output.
IOW, if the QT footage is not good or of poor quality, this will be carried throught to your final product.

I use mainly DVD-R discs for burning – never had compatibility issues yet – even on one the first dvd players I bought many moons ago (I always use it for a test)..

Are you preparing to the same drive? Try preparing to another physical hard drive.
Something tells me theres something not quite cool with your driver setup/configuration

You will also need a conversion device to run this screen through. Firewire output is the one you need to use since this is what Vegas supports so the device must support firewire.
One of the cheaper options and which works well is the Canopus ADVC 110 or higher. It will also allow you to digitise tapes etc.

Rendering for streaming or email because of file size is always a trade-off.
Experiment with different bit rates to get the balance of quality with file size. This can be accessed bu clicking the custom button after “Render as”.
