I've created a few DreamScene clips for fun using Adobe Premiere and because I wanted to use them. I've posted the links below for the dreamscenes (which are all in .wmv format). I got the vids from gametrailers.com and cut the scenes I enjoyed most.

EDIT: The old links no longer work. You can still use them as reference to figure out which files you want. The location to the files are now at: http://archive.programming-designs.com/misc/dreamscene/

nice man, keep up the good work

Does anyone know if dreamscenes in general use up alot of the system resources/memory ?

not sure what its like with the SP1, but i know in the RTM they didnt exactly use up a lot of resources/memory, but there were noticeable differences in startup time and running normal applications, even with two cores....i personally found them troublesome, so dont use em, although im gonna try the GT one =]

Edit. Very cool. Love it. Great Job

They shouldn't use too much, it suppose to be off loaded on to the GPU. I haven't really noticed much difference with DreamScene on or off to be honist and my GPU is hardly a powerhouse (8600GTS).

Sorry, I don't download from a 1 post wonder

A nice job. Well done. Keep it up.

for me it takes a chunk of performance but if i'm just surfing the web or idling on my desktop it's virtually unnoticeable- but like if i'm trying to play a game or play a video it's obvious.

but then again, look at my stats (see sig) and you can probably understand why.

Blood Cells. That's amazing work. Thanks

its much lighter on resources if you use mpeg for your dreamscenes.

Havent anybody noticed that dreamscene stops when you use the memory?
So..........it´s OK to use it,it does uses resourses allright but minimum,and when you have to use the cpu memory it does stop(pause)the dreamscene.
Want proof?Do a benchmark with and without the dremscene(the same results)and just takes to you to do a simple task(has opening I.E)it stops and resumes after you close the I.E,even navigating true the net it doesnt start.

Hey All,

I am loving the Windows DreamScenes, they do use up a bit of memory with explorer.exe it will be at about 240mb used and with just a wallpaper it is about 70mb, I do have 4gb of ram and 2 nVidia GeForce 8800 in sli, so this lil machine can handle the load.

does anyone know where else you can get the Windows DreamScene content ?

well it's quite a powerhouse for aero, as it has 5.9 performance rating for it

Glad to see people are using the dream scene videos I created. I haven't been using my website for much of anything lately so figured I'd do something with all the extra bandwidth I have. If anyone has any requests for videos feel free to post a link/description of what you want and I'll see what I can do.

Thanks for the feedback.

I find it takes too much resources, but that's just me.

Dreamscene overheated my laptop

Yeah Dreamscene isn't for everyone. I don't have Vista Ultimate so can't run dreamscape and am not willing to shell out the $$ for it. I've got a quad core and 2 GB of ram though which allows me to run dreamscene nicely.

Just added four more dreamscenes. They are all clips from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children!

No offense but is anybody else confused by that quote?

^ I meant DeskScapes instead of dreamscape (mis-worded). If you still don't understand:

Dreamscene isn't for everyone because it can be CPU intensive. I am using the patch that allows me to run Dreamscene in a non-Ultimate version of Vista. DeskScapes (made by Stardock), I can't run because it requires Vista Ultimate (and AFAIK theres no way around it). DeskScapes 2, which is the beta, requires you to have purchased the $50 bundle by stardock and will run in non-Ultimate versions of Vista.

Hope that un-confused you =)

O.O I've never had problems with dreamscene, I only have a phenom 4gigs of ram and 2 geforce 9600s in sli, i don't see why it would be a problem for anyone...


Yes, that was sarcasm, although, those are my specs.

Pretty cool captures. Its nice to have actual dreamscenes instead of that Stardock branded crap.

Thanks for the explanation. Without you mentioning deskscapes anywhere before, I don't think I was the only one left out of the loop.

I'd like to add if anyone has video requests I'd consider making it. Just let me know what video/scene you'd like and I'll see what I can do (provide a link if you can).

Added another video (see first post) -- Tom Clancy: H.A.W.X. This one is only 37 mb and pretty nice quality. Great for any fans of air crafts =)

somebody plez help me lol, i've been trying to download the Fianl FAntasy AC dremscenes for a while now and it will not let me get them...can anybody send me them plez
