Windows DreamScene

Windows DreamScene is a utility that allows videos and .gif and other optimized animations to be used as desktop wallpapers. It is one of the Windows Ultimate Extras. Prior to its official announcement, DreamScene was rumored to be in creation under the names Motion Desktop and Borealis. After several months of testing, the final version was released on September 25, 2007.

Rendered content included with DreamScene (such as an animated realization of the Windows Aurora background) was produced by Stardock, while photographic content was provided by the Discovery Channel. Third-party video content in MPEG or WMV format may also be used. In addition, AVI files can be played by altering the file extension.

One of the purported advantages of DreamScene over previous methods of desktop animation is that it makes use of the GPU for display instead of the CPU, leaving the latter free to perform user tasks. To what extent this is achieved is not specified. When a full-screen program is run, such as a game or any window that is maximized, the video will automatically stop since the video will not be seen; this means it uses less GPU and CPU. The video can also be stopped manually. Content encoders need to strive for a balance between compression and file size; decompression requires the CPU, but larger files take up more memory and may cause the disk to be accessed more frequently.

    by: Kalu James

    Ma, I know its been a while, don’t like to hear you sound so weak,
    It brings me down, it brings me down
    Ma, I’m kinda missing you, must be the weather or hey, might just be may
    But Its times like this I know u need me there
    Yes its times like this I know I need you here
    Pa. I know its been a while my friend advised that I call you, so here we are
    I know I’ve been out of touch but you invented that, yes you
    Its so good to hear your voice, says my soul
    The sacrifice you made, I’m just getting used to
    Chrs:
    So take me down by the water, lets cleanse souls
    This could be a brand new chapter for this book
    Mama works from 9 to 8, Papa was used to doing that so now he feels small
    I thought a marriage was a bond, maybe the preacher got it wrong, didn’t stress it enough
    Maybe it got so tired, that it had to break
    Maybe it got so strong, that it broke
    Mama, don’t worry, I ‘ll be strong, strong enough for all of us, will that be enough
    Wanna go back to those days when it was picture perfect, even if it was only in the picture
