Pros
- It works
- Simple to use
Cons
- A bit unrefined. You can see the video-playback window be scaled to full-screen when the screen saver kicks in.
- No features
- No video playlist
- Can't mark the "beginning" and "ending" of the desired sequence
Summary
I've been using this screen saver over the years and can confirm it works under Windows 7, 8, 8.1, and 10. If you're having trouble getting this screen saver working, ensure you have installed the DirectX Redistributable and a Codec Pack such as the K-Lite Codec Pack found on FileHippo. If there are errors, it may be due to the file itself or the codec installed on your system.

Pros
Looked like a great way to display (screensaver) video I had taken using MP4, preview worked perfectly.
Cons
Crashes, never comes up, both computers. Get back to my desk and it says: "stopped unexpectedly", never to display video as a screensaver on its own, on either computer.
Summary
Doesn't work. I am very happy for those that it does work for, but for me, on two different computers, two different operating systems, it does not work.

Pros
It is excellent for making screensavers from favorite videos.
Cons
I can't save each individual screensaver as a file. The program only allows for one video to be used through the program in the control panel.
Summary
I would really love it if I could actually save my screensavers in a separate file so I could easily switch them in a couple clicks.

Pros
Can play any video that your computer supports
Cons
can only add 1 video to the screensaver. Being able to add multiple files would make it better.

Pros
N/A. Didn't risk installing it.
Cons
Triggered virus scanner.
Summary
Perhaps the coding for this application merely coincidentally resembled a virus. It's odd that no other screen saver I've ever installed has, but it's possible. Regardless, I will not install this until and unless there is a CNET official clear-of-virus statement, and an explanation from the publisher, or it is re-written to not trigger a virus alert.

This AVG alert is a false-positive. It's because of the compiler/compression. AVG was already warned about this, hope next update will solve this issue.
There's a new version being developed from scratch and I hope it'll not show this warning anymore.
Please Wait
