So, here's the animation that I rendered with Playblast (then saved).
As you can see it looks just the way I want it. However, when I render it at high quality (as stated in the above post) it isn't white or hold the texture at all of the smoke effect like you will see in the AVI below recorded through playblast.

Any help guys would be great. Imagine this, I have left my pc alone for 5 hours at a time, 3 times now, only to see the rendering job looks like a pacman processor put it together.
