WMScreenSaver
V1.0 FREEWARE
First release, 15th February 2005
WMScreensaver was wrote on a Saturday afternoon because I became a bit "bored".
It is a simple screen saver that utilises your Windows Media Player components to view any media that Windows Media Player can play, including (if you have the codecs installed), DIVX, XVID, MPEG (MPG), AVI, MP3, ASF files and much more!
Examples
of WMScreensaver in action:
Plays movie trailers downloaded from the Internet.
Plays streaming video over the internet as a screen-saver!
(I tried it with Star Wars Episode III) - what a screen saver
it makes!
I've tried it on various DIVX and XVID coded trailers and they all worked
fine too -
in fact, if Windows Media Player can play it - so can the Freeware WMScreenSaver.
Download your copy now, install and then go into your Display Properties (right-click on desktop and select Properties), select the screen-saver tab, select WMScreensaver, click on Settings and point the screensaver to your favourite video.

Here are some links, which, when pasted into the URL location of WMScreenSaver, will allow you to have Live streaming Video from the Internet as your SCREENSAVER!
How about - live video from a UK Golf driving Range - watch those balls fly! (or not in the case of some of the golfers ;) http://www.camstreams.com/asx.asp?user=intouchgolf

Use one of the favoured search engines to locate "movie trailers" or "impressive video animation" etc.. such as www.google.com or www.msn.com both sites will give you results.
