Integrating videos as the desktop background

 
Windows Vista is optically quite impressive with every series. But its interface can be tuned further-with tools from Redmond.
DreamScene is used for animating the desktop background. This program is one of the free tools offered by Microsoft for the Ultimate version of Windows Vista.
SETUP: To install DreamScene, connect to the Internet, click on “Security” in Control Panel and then click on “Windows-Update”. If you have activated the classic view of the Control Panel, just double-click on “Windows Update”. Then, select “Search for Updates” and “Display Available Updates”. In the “Windows Ultimate Tools” area, select the “Windows DreamScene-preview” option and click on “Install”. Click “Restart now” to complete installation. To select an animated background, right-click on the free space on the desktop and select “Personalize”. Then, click on “Desktop Background” and open the drop down box near “Location” and choose Windows DreamScene Content. You will get an animated sample background. Select it and finally click OK. You can also install the “Contents packet for Windows DreamScene”. This extra contains more animated wallpapers. In addition, you can use every other video file as a screen saver; for example, a slide show from your last vacation that you have saved in MPG format. Your creativity sees no bounds. But be careful: hectic film sequences are annoying and distracting!!!

  2. anything you wish. it must be in mpg format. i just told that videos can be distracting and may get on your nerves especially when the background camouflages with your desktop icons. so i would rather suggest you to save a slide show in mpg format.
