Video Wallpaper

JoseJones · 2008-03-08 00:01:56

Hi, does anyone know how to get a video to play as your wallpaper? I've tried to use vlc, wallpaper mode is enabled but I still can't get the wallpaper option to appear when I right click. Anyone have any other ideas? Using vista home premium, so don't think I can use dreamscene...

Set VLC to use DirectX as the video output. That should do it.
