How do I set something like an ipod commercial (in .avi) as a screen saver on my MBP?

I have been wandering how to do that too. I asked an employee at the apple store by my house. She was about as useful as a heater on a summers day. All she said was "oh thats just the way we set it up..im not sure," lol. I'd also like to know how to do this.

I was wondering this as well, but the next time you go to an Apple Store you should check out the screensaver settings and see if you can figure anything out. ;)

In your head.
If you have the developer tools set up, you could use Quartz Composer. There is a node for video source.... This could be cool.

Humm, as if I don't have enfough projects.

If nobody can figure out a better idea, I may fool around with this and post something.
