video wallpaper


Recommended Posts

a random night at the bar, had me working on my laptop among other things and i vaguely remembered video wallpaper.
started looking around and this is the result.

as you might be able to tell encoded at the highest settings and resolution it currently pulls almost a whole core on my 6 core rig
just for the video. smaller looping vids do much better with system resources.
i think i may put together some in-ship loops just to see how they look.
go and look for dreamscape (microsoft,included with vista ultimate)and the enabling instructions if your so inclined.
:rolleyes:

Fascinating, i never knew a feature like this could exist in windows but it does!

Unfortunately I have 64 bit version of win7, and I read it wont work on 64 bit. I don't know why maybe some could explain to me why?

There is a web site on 32 bit win7 this well work you can enable "dreamscene" feature but sucks I can't enable it on my 64 bit. ;)

lol. i use it on my dual core lappy (dual core/ 4 gig mem) as well when i'm not doing anything to extensive. i turn it off if i'm doing graphics or video work but it's on if i'm doing general web browsing or mail etc.
it sucks around 40% of my resources but rarely slows me down.
apparently the smaller the video the less resources it uses.

working in a bar/resurant does have its advantages. :lol: Edited by CheezeBaal
