What is your project made up of? Picture files? Non Sony FX?

it’s got everything in it, jpegs, sony fx, music, sound fx, text…and the obvious DV files.

What size resolution are your pics? They could very well be the problem. Try converting them to png files and resizing them to the output resolution unless you are doing zooms on the pictures. If you are zooming, depending on how much you zoom, you will want to make the resolution a little larger than the final output resolution so that it can zoom in and not get pixelated.
Also, sometimes fx cause issues. I used a black and white fx (non-sony) in one of my projects and it would just dissappear from the screen. I finally figured out it the the fx. I changed the black and white fx to the sony black and white fx and all was well.

ok,
for some reason it actually worked this time.
after about 28hours rendering time on my laptop for my 85min, it completed successfully.
this is what i did;
i firstly rendered my pics as a separate avi file.
then removed all of them and imported the avi. -still crashed!then i pressed the remove all unused media button, to clean things up. Still crashed!
then i changed my DVD video rendering settings from 2 pass to 1 pass (to save rendering time) – still crashed!
then finally i read somewhere else about specifying my saving location of files. so i checked that little square at the rendering option page. and it WORKED! i think, because my hard drive is partitioned, i only had 5gig available on the C, although i had 20gig available on my E drive. so maybe my temp rendering files went to the C drive and not the E drive where i was saving my mpeg?
not sure if this is the reason, (as i kept all fx and remainder of pics in the film), but it WORKED!

I have the same problem. What did you do? I didn’t quite understand.. I mean where do you find the rendering option page? I would be really grateful if you replied as I have spent two days now trying to find a way to solve this problem. And how come it hasn’t been a problem before and now it suddenly is? I haven’t done any kind of changes from my previous renders and they’ve rendered just fine.

It worked for me when i changed the file type to MP4 Video (.MP4)!
