Can you burn anything to a DVd using your burning app? If yes, try reinstalling Premiere as you possibly installed some app recently that can burn DVDs, changing the registry.

Is all your footage DV PAL @ 48,000 Hz audio sample rate?

Premiere is a memory hog. It may have used about all that Windows was going to allocate and then you asked for more…much more than 25 MB if the files were compressed jpegs. Restart Premiere and try again.

If you set the Range to Entire Project, you have about 8500 frames of empty timeline prior to the video starting. Try setting Range to Work Area Bar.

Previewing interlaced footage should always be done on an NTSC monitor. Computer monitors are progressive scan and field issues are often noticeable during motion but not when played to a TV.

The field order for export settings to DVD should be the same as your source video. Digital Video is always Lower field first, thats why Lower is the default.
If your source is not DV, experiment with None and Upper.
The bitrate should not cause motion shudder issues. The bitrate is dictated by the length of the movie, the capacity of the disc and an upper limit of about 8 mbps when using Premiere with no Dolby export option.
I have a chart;

I have seen project files of 50-60 MB bring systems to their knees. I am quite curious how a Premiere project file could possibly get to 280 MB. Does it in any way have anything to do with working on this project for a year? How many hours do you have involved in editing? Do you have only one hard drive?
I would be thinking about a bailout strategy. Delete all video and audio preview files. Try to export your project as a DV.avi file. Put this file in a new project for further editing or export to tape. Failing that, export 20 minute chunks and reassemble in a new project. -
When vinyl was king we spent big bucks on diamond stylus and heavy turn tables or if we had deep pockets, reel to reel decks. Along came the cassette tape and we obsessed over Dolby NR, metallic tape and signal to noise ratio. Then the CD brought audio nirvana to the masses.
Video acquisition and playback evolved similarly and quality peaked with Beta sp and analog cable.
We are now satisfied with highly compressed music (mp3) and think a pixelated digital SD picture stretched out on a HD set is cool.
Where has taste gone? -
When I import a .tga file, Premiere’s Property window shows the Type as Truevision Targa File. It was created in PS. Windows Properties sees it as just a .tga file.
Your file shows as AJA Targa sequence. I suspect AJA has overwritten how Premiere handles Targa files. These 3rd party cards often rewrite Premiere’s program enabling their features and often disabling Premiere’s native features…project settings be damned.
