I should choose 2.49 (The best place to start) or v2.64 (The strongest version)?? And I have a more doubt is rendering with Blender is a little slow. I downloaded a *.Blend example and I see 'It took about 58 minutes with 100% CPU usage to complete its rendering with a lovely movie output!' And you? How long did it take when you had told the program to render your movies? :)
Don't use Blender 2.49. While it might be okay for an old user who hasn't switched to the latest and greatest version, everyone else should always use the most recent version. This will ensure that you will be able to use the latest features, will have all the latest bug fixes, and can utilize the new G3D exporting abilities in the updated G3D exporter for Blender, which only works on the newer versions of Blender.

Not to mention new versions are getting easier to use. All the hotkeys Tiger mentioned remain the same except for spacebar, which now opens up a search menu that you can use to search for any command, infinitely more useful in my opinion. Adding new objects is now Shift + A.

And for any old user who still hasn't switched because of the loss of old features, I suggest looking at some plug-ins because you will find all of them there.

The more complex your models and effects and the longer the movie, the longer it takes to render.

I still remember it used to take a whole night to render a few second's simple movie on a 486, so things have gotten much faster these days. It still will always be a bottleneck in 3D modelling, because so many calculations need to be made.

Try rendering a still image before you render the movie, if you just want to have a look at your model.

Good ideas,

Also for me, using 2.49b is easier to model in not for effects.
But 2.64 has many more features.
When I rendered Agent Tim it took about 1 hour to render all clips.
If you need help with anything just ask.
(I am new at blender 2.64 so I'm still getting the hang of things)

Work on that video has paused for the moment until I finish this Minecraft Series should only be 2 more episodes left. I'm hoping to make 10 episodes all together.
