Hi All,
Is it possible to create a screen saver from a .mov (movie) clip?
Possible? Of course, all the source code is available. :-) Available? I haven't done it, but I can see a possible way to do so. The screensaver is just a program. So, it should be possible to replace the code that displays images, and instead start a process that continuously cycles a video player. Getting out of the loop would be the issue, I think. The screensaver could retain keystroke capture, and when it catches a keystroke, kill the video player, and continue on with the recovery of the screen.
This sounds easy enough that if you search the web, you should find someone who has done it already.
And it seems someone has:
