Phil: I had the same problem recently, but with a much smaller file rendering( 512×486) . What causes it is a corrupted file access. I would guess that if your dealing with a very large file you most likely are dealing with lots of paging to the HD. In my case the error was a corrupted bitmap used for animated texture mapping. I rerendered the single frame of the bit map and then the rendering went fine. You might try and defrag your HD and do a chkdsk/f to clean things up. If, like me, you are accessing a new map file at that time you should check the integrety of the file. Hoping some my experience with this cheap dump will help you<g>
