Use Video To Make Desktop Wallpaper

Categories: Useful Things - Windows

Ever thought of having your favorite movie to become your desktop wallpaper? Now you can! The steps to do this are pretty simple also, just follow closely below. Tested with winXP and .avi files only.

1. Open your favorite html editor (frontpage, dreamweaver etc..).
 
2. Create a new file.
 
3. Insert these 2 lines of codes:
 

<body topmargin="0" leftmargin="0">

<img border="0" dynsrc="yourmovie.avi" start="fileopen" width="1024" height="800" loop="infinite">

 
- Change dynsrc="yourmovie.avi" to the movie file you want to appear in your desktop, the movie file must be in the same drive as this file you are going to save.
 
- Change width="1024" height="800" to your window desktop resolution, if you are using 1024X800 resolution than leave it as it is.
 
- Change loop="infinite" to loop="0" if you don’t want the movie to repeat forever. Or change to loop="2" if you want the movie to repeat 2 times or whatever times you set.
 

4. Save as file name moviedesktop.htm in C: drive or which ever drive your movie file is in.
 
==> You may also download the created file here to save your trouble. Just open it with your html editor and edit those options.

 
5. Right click anywhere on your desktop and click properties > Desktop > Browse
 
6. Browse to your moviedesktop.htm file and click open > apply > Ok and you are done!
 
The movie should be running as your desktop wallpaper now. See my example below, one of my favorite singer, Gary Cao. Should have music but I have some sound problem with the video capture software.
 

 
At any time you want to stop playing the movie just right click anywhere on the deskstop and click on “Stop” and click on “Play” to play again.
 
Changing different wallpaper
 
Since your desktop is covered by the movie and when you right click anywhere, it will display the movie options, so to change wallpaper you need to go to Control Panel > Display and change from there. You may want to create different files moviedesktop1.htm, moviedesktop2.htm, moviedesktop3.htm… with different movies so you can change easily. Take note of the file size, if the file is too big your pc may take some time to start. Enjoy your Video Desktop Wallpaper =). Don’t forget to say thanks if you find this useful.
