Dreamscene is one of those few applications that are exclusive to Windows Vista Ultimate users giving them the opportunity to use Video Wallpapers as the desktop background. Workarounds to enable Dreamscene on other Vista editions have been circulating the Internet for a while. This is however not wanted by Microsoft and only possible by using cracked versions of Dreamscene. Enter SSDream. SSDream is a software that is way more powerful than Dreamscene and available for all Vista editions. The video wallpaper functionality supports more than just wmv and mpeg-2 compatible video formats; Basically any video that plays in Windows Media Player should work with SSDream as well.
SSDream is a Vista application that allows screen savers, videos and images to be used as your wallpaper. As a added bonus, if you have multiple monitors, SSDream will play different screen savers, videos or images on each monitor. Be sure to watch the video demo to see what it can do!
Key Features:
* Multi-monitor support. Each monitor gets a different screen saver, video or image.
* Vista's stock screen savers and all the screen savers in the free open source Really Slick Screensavers collection are working. Any screen saver that renders itself in the preview window has the potential to work in SSDream. Check out the Screen Saver Section to see what screen savers have been discovered to work.
* Video support expanded beyond DreamScene's WMV and MPEG-2. Any video that runs in Windows Media Player should work as your desktop. Check out video collection in the Video Section.

pupdawg, exactly what bites? Can you be more specific?
SSDream is really about running a screen saver as your desktop background. Video and Images where added afterward. It's also a way to collect your desktop media so SSDream can cycle through them.
Not in Vista (under Aero) it doesn't...not yet anyway.
