I get the same thing on occasion. Sometimes you have to turn the machine
off and restart it. And other times... you have to re-render the
animation. We just had a thread on scrambled PAR anims. To keep it from
happening you need to bathe your PAR in liquid nitrogen.

This is a common problem when the PAR's dedicated disk drive is near full or
when the block limit is set too high. Before you re-render your animation, try
both of these methods.
1) Clenup (Optimize) the disk. I find that this often does the trick. If not:
2) Export the problem range of images as YUV(or anything for that matter)
files to another drive. Import them back into the PAR at a reduced block limit
setting (this is much more efficient than re-rendering).
Hope this helps.
