Water is a tricky thing. It takes not only animating the meshes, but the texture as well to do it right.

Okay my camera shots are real dodgy as u can tell, so rather than having the camera target the object, i targetted a null instead, so its more clear.

As you can see in the 2meg avi below, its 700 frames, and actually rendered quicker than the first avi which was 200+ frames, maybe something to do with the camera targetting the object and not a null, please let me know what u think.

Ocean Test 2

All my renders are rendered in Xvid, the codec can be downloaded here :
