if vista can use vista dreamscene which enables u use video as wallpaper with minimal cpu usage... 4 windows xp, no choice but to use html to play videos.

as i said, use dreamscene if for vista. it comes with vista ultimate. but can be downloaded manually also. can use avi, mpg n etc for wallpaper.

for windows xp, just create a html n put embedded videos inside n u got yourself a desktop video background. on winxp2, use active desktop page to enable web content. but this thing drains lots of cpu usage n mem.

Quad core?
I think there are less people using that...


Back to topic,i think that movie wallpaper is not really suggested to use,coz after use it,you can imagine,it's really hard to see the icon on the desktop...

Anyway,that my opinion,correct me if i am wrong...

The question is, why you need movie on desktop ? If you working or doing anything on PC, you surely got windows at front ... ehat purpose having that anyway ?

use VLC player, settle.. if dunno how, it's on my Blog
jayzac
try KMP player, it has a mode that plays movie on desktop
chaosneo
currently using Windows XP, will shift to Vista probably 1-2 years. having movies on the desktop is probably great but there's probably a big chance it will be a resource hogger.

i do settle for nice animations on the desktop though tongue.gif
Pmc
using vlc not really hog the ram.. its quite smooth 1
dlwl
tried vista's dreamscene before, quite a resource hogger, made my proc usage jump to at least 50% even when idle. not sure about vlc though..
