How to get a video as a screen saver

[cjddrum1]

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.

Thanks, I'll be looking forward to getting this information. Good luck Mac shopping tomorrow!

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.
