There is too little information provided to help you in any way. What is your source file type? What are your project settings? Which render template and settings are you using to render when it crashes?

Hello,
Thank you for the reply...
I realized it was little information. I am sorry.
Regarding the project sitting: HDV 1080-60i (1440 x 1080)
Render template: 720 X 480 60i (16:9 ) NTSC
You say you have a 4k camera, but then the video specs you list are sub HD. I would try a couple of the following things.
disable any GPU accel in the preferences>video tab, just to take that off the table.
Next try creating a "save as" of your project and change the project setting to match your DVD output. Use one of the presets like "NTSC Standard (720x486, 29.970 fps) or "NTSC DV (720x480, 29.970 fps)" and make sure the timeline looks good as far as any scaling of text and or framing. Then try rendering to an MPEG2 preset like "DVD Architect NTSC video stream". Another option would be to do the above and render to DV, then render the DVD format in DVDA.
Something else to try would be to look to see if heat is killing your render. Use a monitoring tool like Speccy and watch the CPU / GPU heat and see if while rendering they are running excessively hot. small fins in GPUs and laptops can get clogged up really fast.
