Shake Renders Corrupt On Mac Quad Processor

[user_deleted]

Anyone else out there had a problem with slices of the rendered image missing sporadically
on render outs of file nodes. Problem has started appearing ever since we moved over to
the new Quad Processor macs. It seems I see the problem most often when a filter of some
sort is downstream in the tree. Generally, I can go back and rerender the corrupt frames but
it is starting to be a pain.

Any solutions or things I could try to solve this problem?

If you have enough ram, launch a render per processor. Since render lics are free, this is an ideal solution. Didn't do it much on linux/windows/irix, because each render sucked up a nongui license, which is expensive.

This is much faster then multithreading(works faster if your rendering with 3d apps too).

depends on 3d app and scene quite much.
