VideoSaver is a screen saver which plays one or more videos of your choice. Download or create your own videos, then add them to a playlist (you can create as many playlists as you like). Most video formats are supported, including Windows Media, QuickTime (older versions), MPEG and AVI.

Included with VideoSaver are two utilities, SaverControl and QTConv. SaverControl is a small application that sits on your taskbar and lets you disable, enable, launch and configure your screen saver easily.

QTConv is also very useful: on the net, you'll often encounter QuickTime movies. Some of them use compression methods (codecs) incompatible with VideoSaver. QTConv lets you change the codec the video uses, thus making it compatible with VideoSaver.

The above picture shows VideoSaver's multi-monitor support in action, playing the Star Wars Episode 1 Teaser using Monitor style. For most videos you'll probably use the Monitor style, stretching a video across 2 or more monitors usually looks quite bad. Desktop style is interesting for specially designed videos or for use with video walls (for example a 2x2 or 3x3 monitor matrix). See Multi-Monitor Resources for more information on multiple monitors.
