That’s weird.
How does the original M2T look?It’s puzzling that you would get the “no-rendering” message if you are re-encoding from M2T to MPEG2.
Double check your settings.
Try encoding the MPEG files from another M2T file. If it still craps, then there’s something wrong in either the CODEC or the settings.Steve Mann

“A lesson painfully learned.”
Most are. I have the scars to prove it.

Only one hard-disk?
Two Partitions are not the same as two drives.Partitioning is an anachronism that became necessary when hard-disk size was more than DOS could address and the only way to use any hard-disk over 30Gb was with partitioning.
Today there are only a few valid reasons for partitions:
1) Hosting more than one O/S where each O/S needs its own Boot Partition
2) A Recovery Partition
3) To keep the O/S in a small partition – it’s getting difficult to buy a PC with anything smaller than a 1TB boot disk, and Windows 7 needs no more than 100GB including a lot of installed applications.
4) With 3Tb disk drives becoming available, we’ve come full-circle and have hard-disk drives larger than NTFS can address.Performance-wise, a separate partition is physically the same as a single disk drive. No advantage whatever.
Are your partitions formatted using NTFS or FAT-32? If it’s FAT-32 then there’s your problem. You ran into the FAT-32 file size limitation. If it’s NTFS then we need to keep looking.
Also – ANY project over 11-minutes or just this one?

How much hard free disk do you have? Are you encoding (render as) to a separate drive?

“…but this causes extra wear on my deck heads…”
Seriously – if you use your camera enough to wear out the heads, then you certainly have enough business to buy a new camera.
YOU SHOULD WISH for enough shooting hours for head wear to be a problem. Especially if you use your camera for income.
It just doesn’t happen in real use. If you have enough shooting projects to wear out the heads on a camera, then you have enough business to a) purchase a deck (or two), and b) have a supply closet with more cameras.
Heads wear out from abuse – not normal use. Mixing tape brands, excessive use of the cleaning tape (usually needed from mixing tape brands), and rarely, harsh environments. But it is exceedingly rare to find anyone who has experienced wearing out a tape head simply through normal useage. Even rental units. (Second-hand anecdotes don’t count here).
While we’re on it – NEVER, EVER use a cheap tape rewinder. Unlike a camera or deck tape transport that monitors the hub speed and slows down near the ends, cheap rewinders slam the tape at full speed and depend on the tension of the tape leader on the hub to keep it from coming unspooled. It will fail. Not might fail, it will, and you will have to rethread the tape on the spool. Not an easy task.
Now on to your capture problem.
Are you using the correct capture utility? There is two installed with Vegas. The internal capture is for DV and the external is for HDV. I can’t help you with the specifics because I haven’t captured a tape in a couple of years (tapeless now, yay!). And when I did, I used HdvSplit (it’s free and doesn’t do anything but capture tapes).

If you cleared the PATH environment variable, I would be surprised if much worked at all.
Here’s my PATH
PATH=C:Program FilesCommon FilesMicrosoft SharedWindows Live;C:Program Files (x86)Common FilesMicrosoft SharedWindows Live;C:Windowssystem32;C:Windows;C:WindowsSystem32Wbem;C:WindowsSystem32WindowsPowerShellv1.0;C:Program Files (x86)ATI TechnologiesATI.ACECore-Static;C:Program Files (x86)QuickTimeQTSystem;C:Program Files (x86)X-RiteDevicesServices;C:Program Files (x86)X-RiteDevicesLib;C:Program Files (x86)Windows LiveShared;C:Program Files (x86)CineFormTools;C:Program Files (x86)GoProToolsThere’s folder specific to QT. (C:Program Files (x86)QuickTimeQTSystem)
Do you need help adding that to your path?

This is how I do time-lapse.
Here is a stage build that I did a few years ago consisting of 9,540 still images. This is the whole musical from set construction, rehearsal, performance and strike – in about 5-minutes.

Nesting does that. your final project file consists of a few nested veg files from the segments that do render OK.

Can you render the sections separately? If so, then try a nested solution. Put section1.veg and section2.veg on the timeline of the project.veg file.
