Have a Video Wallpaper as Desktop Background
Windows Vista will have a feature called Dreamscene which will allow us to have a video as a desktop background . Dreamscene will only be available to the people using Windows Vista Ultimate but for people using Windows XP , there is also a way . And that is VLC player . VLC player has a built in feature that can allow you to have any video as a wallpaper . All you have to do is the following things
1) Open VLC and check whether Wallpaper mode is enabled
Goto Settings->preferences->video->output modules->Directx
Just select the advacned option box and you will get the following window as shown below , enable the wallpaper mode , now when you run your videos and right click on it , you will see a wallpaper option .
2) Now to remove VLC from your taskbar go to
Settings->preferences->Interface->Main Interfaces->wxWidgets and uncheck the Taskbar option.
3)Now all we have to do is loop your videos , go to
Settings->preferences->playlists and you will see the required option .
This will work on most of the versions but i recommend you to use the latest version of VLC . I tried it on Windows Vista Ultimate but i got a black screen as a wallpaper which was probably due to some issues with Aero , so if anyone gets it to work in Vista , do comment about it .

I’ve used it a few times with VLC. They’re pretty cool !
This is nice info, but I have not tried out the Vista yet. The XP tweak is good
very Awesome share Madhur
I knew that Vista had this feature but always wanted to try it on XP
Glad I found it
This just made my day. I’ll try this out right away.

DreamScene is pure crap really, with its 2.5x explorer.exe RAM consumption.
@Harsh
Has Dreamscene been released
whoa. this sounds pretty cool. I am going to check this one out.
This seems interesting, but I do prefer plain wallpapers, cant say why though..
My main concern is that you can’t guarantee every page of your website will be included in the SERPs. Considering I’m constantly adding new products to my company’s website, I need to be sure that customers can find them as soon as possible.http://www.seoptimizerz.com
