Hello,
Which max version are you using? For importing vdb files you need at least max 2010, but I presume you have successfully loaded one.
Is it possible for you to share one cache file so we can see what causes the crash?
Also, do you have access to the nightly builds? If not, please email support@chaosgroup.com and try the latest build. There are some fixes there for openVDB import, but no crashes have been fixed or seen so far.

The preset itself does that:

It also sets the Sampler Type to Spherical under the Rendering rollout, and adjsuts the Preview settings to diplay only temperature [2400-8600] and smoke [0.1-1.0].

Thank's Svetlin.
My max is 2011.

I find a solution. Befor loading "rend_houdini.apr" i load an other preset.
Then Rend_houdini load fine.

Well, okay - but still - it would be better if you could send the problematic cache so we can fix the crash and nobody will have to work around it

This problem occur even if any VDB cache is loaded.

It crash if i load "render presets"

Same on an other machine with max 2011, no other max version to try...

Alrighty then, you could try a nightly build to be on the safe side.
