Low memory warnings have nothing to do with your C: drive or any other drive. It is complaining about system memory (RAM) that is available not disk space. It doesn’t matter that your PC has 3GB of RAM, how much is free? Anti-virus and Internet Security Suites like Norton/Symantec and Burning Suites like Nero 8 Ultra love to run multiple processes in the background sucking up valuable memory. Kill everything on your PC before doing a render.
If you want to see how much available memory you have, right-click on the windows taskbar (at the bottom of your screen) and select Task Manager. Then click the Performance tab and look at Physical Memory(K) and see what it says for Available Memory. I’m guessing it is a very small number compared to Total.
Like I said, kill everything on your PC before doing a render.

The only way to get information is to click the ‘?’ in the title bar of the MPEG template window and then click the control you want more information about. You can also click the control to give it focus and press F1. That’s as good as it gets.

I assume the file is a MOV file because Quicktime 7 is what’s causing the problem. I would make sure that the file plays correctly in the Quicktime player. Also make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime 7 and the latest version of Movie Studio 9. Other than that… I really can’t say what might be wrong.

Premiere 1.5 should have no problem with CineForm files. Export from Vegas using AVI HD intermediary (these are the CineForm templates).
Note: You may need the full version of CineForm to read these files in Premiere or I thought I read that if you install the trial it will still read files after the trial has expired. (I have CineForm Connect HD so I can’t say if it just works with the Vegas version)

For YouTube, go to keepvid.com and save the video as MP4. Sometimes you can find the video in your browser cache and copy it out. For streaming Quicktime files you can use Quicktime Pro to save the stream. Each format has it’s own way of capturing.

Wow, you put 6 hrs of video on 1 DVD! That must be extremely low quality. The problem you are having is that Vegas is rendering your video at full DVD quality in which you get about 1.5hrs per DVD. Unfortunately, you recorded your VHS to DVD at 1/4 the quality so to get the same low file size you will have to go into the template properties (using the Custom button) and set the average bitrate to 1/4 of what it is now (from 6K down to about 2K).

Doesn’t the Movie Studio version have a Make Movie button that takes all the guess work out of this for you? Why aren’t you using that?
DVD’s only use MPEG-2 video so you should use the MainConcept (MPEG-2) type using the DVD Architect widescreen video stream templates. For the web, try the MainConcept (AVC) type starting with the iPod template and tweaking it for your needs (i.e., make it widescreen) This will produce mp4 files.

The M2T is the only file you need. The SFL file is metadata that Vegas uses to draw wave forms. It can be safely deleted and Vegas will rebuild it when it needs it.

Try using File | Render As… and select an MPEG2 template that includes audio. (i.e., check the audio tab and make sure audio it turned on)

VBR should give better results because there are a lot of frames with little or no movement. Set the max high so that it has enough bits to represent the grass. Unfortunately, the grass is very detailed and takes a lot of bits to represent. I’m not sure why it gets so blurry when you zoom in. The image is not that different from the zoomed out image and should be represented just as well. Was the original footage soft when zoomed?
