Can i get a moving wallpaper for windows 7 (Not .gif or a Slideshow)

[crazykilla]

Hello, I'm CrazyKilla

I want to get a moving wallpaper on windows 7,
I've tried .gif, it doesn't work for me and just gives a black screen
I've tried a slideshow, but it's just too slow

I'm wondering if there is a program which I can give a video file and make it use it as my wallpaper,
Help please!

You could also use Stardock's Deskscapes.

DeskScapes - Animated Windows Desktop Wallpapers

from the tutorial :

Method II
Another method to have DreamScenes is to install any 3p program.Until now I know three programs which let you enjoy animated wallpapers: VLC Media Player,DeskScapes,DreamScene VideoWallpaper
Unfortunatelly only VLC Media Player is freeware.

ok - I have vlc. what/where is/are steps for method 2?

About halfway down the page explains how to do it Enable DreamScene in Any Version of Vista or Windows 7

OK - The media player method (Method 2)? well, maybe I am confused. It all seems to me no different that simply playing/looping any video file in full-screen mode. where am I missing something here?

Perhaps Method 1 is easier on resources? I'll try that next ...

stand by ...

from tutorial :

Option "Set as Desktop Background" is only availabe for files with *.MPG and *.WMV extensions

My r-clik does not have this listed. a showstopper afaik.

unless others chime in, my experience with Alonso Chocano's recommendation is the best solution to the OP.
