I am trying to render a 10 sec, 740x480 animation. I am working on Mac G4 with 768MB of RAM. My computer freezes or crashes every single time and I get error type 2,3 or 10 messages. The scene is one mountain, and a rippling body of water. The render has never made it past frame 8. I have tried different memory allocations, tried OS All and OS Base extension settings, disabled a couple extensions the Bryce tech-support suggested, reloaded the software, updated to 5.01 and nothing seems to solve this. Huge Thanks to anyone that can stop this frustration.

I don't own a Mac, but do you have like a sreensaver that goes on while you are rendering??? Pleiades

disable clock. set virtual memory to double actual ram. try at a smaller size setting first. no added lights or reflections, no "soft" lighting. good luck.
