With Windows DreamScene, Windows Vista Ultimate users could have videos and other optimized animations to be used as their desktop wallpapers. But Windows XP users should not be left behind because with the help of a free software they could have their favorite video clip on your desktops too. VideoLAN, the cross-platform media player and streaming server that is highly portable and could play various audio and video formats has another trick in it bags that most of you do not know about. Play on VideoLAN the video you want to display as your desktop wallpaper, right-click while it’s playing, and select Wallpaper from the menu that appears. You can also create a playlist with multiple video clips and then configure VideoLAN to loop your selections by clicking Tools, Preferences, Playlist, and checking Repeat All.Use Video Clips as Wallpaper in Windows XP

won't this eat a lot or resources? using vista does need high system requirements, right? and with video as wallpaper... i wonder :)
June 26, 2008 at 3:31 AMYou need to have at least 1 GB of RAM to run Vista comfortably, mine has 2 GB of RAM. But this tip is not for Vista, it is for XP users. Vista Ultimate has DreamScene for it to have this effect on the wallpaper. I have tried it with my machine at the office that runs XP with 1 gb of RAM and it is okay. VLC Media Player is very light. And of course when you run a video clip as your wallpaper you do not really intend to use the computer. Wall papers are there to be appreciated when you do not have anything to do with the computer. :)
