I have been getting this one a lot lately. the only recommendation I can make (which worked for me) is to actually create a new sequence and paste the edit into it. For some reason in 10.6.x sequences can get corrupted which somehow screws up the render files. Even deleting render files will do you no good unless you create a new sequence. Hope this helps. I also hope that Apple addresses this problem soon. It's a real PITA.

I saw this got a bump up recently. I've dealt with this as well over the years.
It was "kind of" suggested earlier in the post to delete still shots out of the sequence - as a starting point to try and at least make it render.

I would also submit - if you have multiple kinds of clips (still shots, different video - whatever) - try removing every other kind of clip except for the most used format for one clip - and start there. Then add in the extra stuff one at a time to see if you can find something that trips it up.
For example - a majority of DV clips, combined with a little 422 footage, or resized HD footage, some Jpegs and PNGs - just remove everything except the DV clips - and then start adding them back in to see what causes the problem.

hope this helps
