I used AVI Uncompressed but it never showed the AVI dialog as it crashes as soon as you hit Render.

[UPDATE]
Thinking the file was corrupt, I recreated the same scene and got exactly the same error.
So I started making tests.
In my project I used a video clip for a Diffuse texture .MOV clip.
I deleted the clip, it was rendering the scene.
I load the diffuse with the video clip... then it goes back to crashing again.
So I used an .MP4 instead of .MOV  it was rendering the scene.

So iClone doesn't like .MOV files for diffuse textures, I guess?

Simply, merge clip doesn't work properly, it changes the animation into something else than what it was before you merged.

Apologies but we are not clear on the part below. Can you explain in a bit more detail so we can fully understand the problem?

[ Merge Clips ]
Doesn't work.
When you disable
[ Clip Auto Extend ]
That is no problem there.

Can you render the same scene to other formats such as MP4, WMV or AVI using a codec?

Also, try rendering the scene to uncompressed AVI but reduce the output resolution to a minimum. Does it still crash with the same error message?

While I'm at it I'll add to Feedback Tracker that
[ Merge Clips ]
Doesn't work.
When you disable
[ Clip Auto Extend ]
That is no problem there.
But when you need to merge the clips it adds keyframes, it adds unwanted animations, it also includes invisible keyframes (pose from avatar changes but nothing visual on the timeline),  it basically does not reproduce the existing animation into one clip. 
It's a mess. 

What does this error mean?
This occurred when I clicked on Render to make an AVI uncompressed video, them BOOM! Crash! Blamo!
  
I tried to render this simple scene. It's just a space ship a sky and a sphere.
Tried 3 times. 
If I need to give details what should I include besides my machine details and steps to reproduce it?
