rpf sequence with 3D post operator drops frames

When I ad a 3D post operator (texture map) to my rpf sequence and render it I usually get dropped frames...about 20 of the 300 frames. When I delete the operator I don't get the dropped frames. First I tried to render to AVI, but that doesn't work with the dropped frames, so now I export as .BMP sequence and convert that to AVI lateron. And this must be noted: I use combustions netrenderer.exe. The problem doesn't occur when I render on local computer.
Does anyone know a solution to this? Is there some option to let combustion (4) take a bit longer but also render every frame? or any other solution?

I'm not sure I know what netrender.exe is supposed to do. Are you network rendering through Backburner? Because it sounds to me like one of your render machines is not behaving properly.

Yes, I'm network rendering through Backburner. It's not one of the render machines, because the frame dropping doesn't happen on the same machine constantly. It renders a .bmp file, but it's 0 Kb. It looks like it doesn't get enough time to compile.

I always use PNG as it offers flexible compression [lossless or paletted] and it creates consistently small files. I don't think I have ever rendered a BMP file in my life.

Oke, I've tried different types of files; jpg, png, tga. They all had the same problem: with network rendering through backburner the netrenderer crashed, and I have to restart it in backburner. Then there also exists a 0 kb file in the sequence that I have to remove (6 kb when it's a png). am I the only one having this problem with rendering sequences through backburner? I use texture mapping on .rpf files. can it be the way I composite the workspace? Can anyone look at it?
