mdScreenSaver: Play Any PC Video As Your Screensaver
13-Sep-2009
Do you have a favorite movie clip, or home movie that you would like to use as your screensaver? mdScreenSaver can do that for you. mdScreenSaver is a screensaver for Windows (XP and 7 tested) that allows you to use any video on your computer as your screensaver. To bring up the options, hit the spacebar while the screen saver is active. Simply drag & drop your video from Windows Explorer and click "Submit" to save your changes. You also have the option of using sound or muting the video.
Windows Media Player is the backend video player, so any video that plays in WMP will work. It also uses the default video size to which WMP is set (ex.: 100% or 200%).
Also available is an .avi video sample screensaver. It's some text mimicking the famous logon text from the movie Wargames. The video is compressed using 7Zip which can be downloaded from 7Zip.org. After installing 7zip, right click on the downloaded file, choose 7-Zip -> Extract Here.
Moving the mouse currently does not end the screensaver. Click on the screen or hit any key to end the screensaver. In the near future I'll add an option to let you decide if you want mouse movements to end the screensaver.
