My 2 cents: 4444 means you’ll be storing uncompressed alpha channel information – and your material doesn’t have alpha channels, so that’s just a waste of disk space. As your source material didn’t store full information for all channels (ie, it’s not 444 but 311), storing more color information than the information already present it’s also a waste of disk space.
So 422 seems to be the way to go -
You can use Mac Blu Ray Player (https://www.macblurayplayer.com/) to play the discs

Use H264 with the bitrate required to get that filesize. About software, if you have the Adobe suite, you can use Adobe Media Encoder to encode it

I don’t think so, as you would be creating a 15 seconds video track with a 4 minutes audio track, and IIRC, the DVD specification requires both to be the same lenght. I don’t think there is a workaround either, so you’ll need to render those 4 minutes, which is not that much.

Did it work ok in Snow Leopard? I have the same drive using Snow Leopard and sometimes it’s not recognized. Restarting with the option key pressed does the trick, maybe the same works with Lion?

Just create a button in your submenu and set the destination to your main menu

You’ll need to use a 720*480 composition with the proper pixel aspect ratio (you have presets for that). Once you have that, adjust your animation by either cropping (ie, put it in the comp, scale it down a bit and center it in the comp, leaving borders outside the comp) or by adjusting the size and aspect ratio to the composition (right-click the layer with the animation, choose transform/fit to comp)

Once you’ve finished editing, you can just export your PAL project to NTSC, doing the conversion directly from Vegas. However, I’ve found earlier versions of Vegas don’t do this neither fast nor with good quality. I don’t know about current versions. Since you’re using PC, I’d suggest rendering your project in PAL and then converting it using Canopus Procoder or Adobe Media Encoder. If you already have that software, you might be able to do a software conversion on your own. You’ll need to check the quality, though, as, from a purist point of view, it might not be good enough. Test it, though.

Isn’t Maya or any other 3d software better for this?

If you mean you end up with a black halo around your subject, you’ll need to use a combination of mask feather and matte choker to remove it
