Don't rely on 7.0 either
Before anyone uninstalls 8.0 and goes back to 7.0, just wanted to warn you that I've now had the exact same problem as noted in this thread with my 7.0. I'm running this older version b/c it was bundled w/ the ADS Instant DVD 2.0 hardware. Like the other person, I've successfully rendered this same video previously w/ no problems. I've added no new software since the last render a week ago. Now all of a sudden, it crashes halfway through the render. 
At this point in time I am not certain the crash during the render process is the fault of the uvsepa.dll module as identified in the error message.
What I am finding is a correlation with hard disk activity during the crash. I had just rendered a project and the progress bar indicated 99% complete and it was finializing the save to disk when the crash occured.
I reviewed the .mpg which it created and it looked fine.
I tried to redo the projects that I first noted this problem with and the render still crashes but again I noted hard drive activity during the crash.
I preserved the temp file UVS was creating. I opened the file and compared to the progress bar numbers and it does save right up to the crash point.

I have identified the problem!
I recorded hours and hours of Satellite TV and tried to reproduce the error. Please no comments about copyright infringements!
While rendering a complete segment without editing, there would be an occasional crash. Nothing stood out which caused the crash. Although, if I also run the split by scene, it generates the error at exactly the same spot. The spot that causes the error is definitely a scene change!
I then edited a clip! I found natural transitions between scenes and cut them at that point. I inserted another clip and then tried to render. The error occurs at almost every cut.
I then inserted a 3 frame crossfade transition between the clips and it renders OK with every test clip I have tried. I tried 2 frame crossfades but that did not work. It has to be 3 or more frames to work!
I have used this approach successfully on all the projects that I could not render because of the uvsepa.dll crash.
