Sure, you are not actually going to get Dreamscene for your PC but itdoesn’t matter if you’re going to get the same effect right? This isexactly what VLC Player can do for you. You might or might not haveheard of this program but it is a free video player that eliminates theneed to download many different codecs as it already recognizes a largenumber of them. VLC has a built-in feature that allows you to playvideos as your wallpaper.


Dreamscene is only available for Windows Vista Ultimateusers, but with this method, it can be made available for anyone with acopy of Windows or MacOS X Tiger. If you have a Mac, scroll down to thebottom of the page. Before we begin, please note that VLC is still notfully compatible with Windows Vista.
Although this tutorial hasworked for the majority of users who have tried it, it may not work foryou. But before giving up, I recommend you view the updates I have madeat the bottom of the post regarding problems and some of the comments Ihave made. Hope you enjoy this tutorial.
