What software is available use the HD and 24p mpgs that you can generate with Vegas Video. When I say "use", I mean actually encoding a DVD with Highdef Progressive scan data with no telecine operations involved.

You can't encoded a DVD with High-Def material just yet, as there is no HD DVD standard. You can put HD (720p) Windows Media Video on DVD-ROM for playback by high-end computers and envenually some new set-top players. Microsoft and Artesan are putting an HD version of Terminator 2 on the new Extreme DVD release, for example. Vegas can encode to this format.

You can encode 24p standard def (such as that shot with the Panasonic DVX100 camera) for DVD using Vegas and DVD Architect. See the white paper.

Is there any way to get the HD video that we can now create out onto broadcast HD VCRs?
I realise this is going to involve some expensive hardware but I cannot find anything at any price that would do it.

With the GR-HD1 we have a cheap way of getting HD into Vegas but no way to get it back out apart from as mpeg2. I guess it could be rendered back as uncompressed HD and then transfered to film at vast expense but going straight out to tape would be a good option

I realise this isn't going to give anything like the results of using HD cameras and all the associated costs but now that HD broadcasting is gearing up here it would open opportunites for a lot of people.

Have you considered an arrangement with a post house, such as DuArt Labs?
